Homemade granola is a light yet nutritious breakfast, perfect for busy mornings. The origin of the dish can be traced back to the health-conscious American cuisine, where granola quickly became popular among athletes and people mindful of their breakfast. Homemade granola is the best choice for those who want to start their day with a delicious but nutritious breakfast. The base of the dish is oats, which are mixed with honey, dried fruits, and nuts, then gently baked.
The homemade granola recipe is extremely versatile, as various spices, such as cinnamon or vanilla, and extra ingredients, such as coconut or even chocolate, all contribute to the unique taste experience. Granola is perfect not only for breakfast but also as a snack or mixed with yogurt. Because it is homemade, it is guaranteed fresh and free of artificial additives, making it a healthier choice than store-bought versions.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped walnuts, almonds, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
Melt the coconut oil, then whisk together with the honey and vanilla extract.
Pour the liquid mixture over the oat mixture and stir well to coat.
Spread the granola evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Stir halfway through to ensure even baking.
Let it cool completely, then stir in the dried cranberries.
Serve with yogurt, fruits, or enjoy it on its own as a healthy snack.
