How to make homemade granola.

 To make granola at home, all you need are a few simple ingredients and a baking sheet. Simply mix your oats with a pinch of salt. In a small saucepan heat butter with honey and brown sugar if used and add to the oat mixture. Spread the mixture out evenly on a baking sheet. Bake in the oven at a low temperature for about 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is golden brown and crispy. Add the nuts, seeds, and dried fruit after the first 15 minutes of baking. Let it cool completely before storing in an airtight container

You can also adjust this recipe to suit your taste, you can use various fruits, nuts or seeds. By making it yourself, you can adjust the amount of sweeteners used. You can leave out the brown sugar for instance and use only the honey or maple syrup. 

One of the best things is that homemade granola has no preservatives, so I highly recommend trying this recipe at home for a healthier breakfast or snack idea. You can enjoy it with yogurt, milk or just eat it as a snack. Homemade granola is a delicious and healthy option that you can enjoy any time of day.
