Homemade Granola Recipe

A healthy recipe for homemade granola perfect for a cosy cottagecore aesthetic! Homemade granola with oats, nuts and coconut.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup coconut flakes
  • ½ cup coconut shredded
  • ⅓ cup dried cranberries or sultanas
  • ½ cup almonds roughly chopped
  • ⅓ cup chia seeds
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1 egg

Method
 

  1. Step 1) Preheat the oven to 320 °F (160 °C). I use a stainless steel oven tray for baking my granola that does not require baking paper. If you don’t have this tray, line your oven tray.
  2. Step 2) In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: oats, coconut, cranberries, almond, chia seeds, salt and cinnamon.
  3. Step 3) Combine the coconut oil, honey, vanilla and peanut butter in a saucepan. Melt together. Gently stir and do not leave unsupervised so you are careful not to burn.
  4. Step 4) Pour the stove mixture above the dry mixture and combine well.
  5. Step 5) Crack an egg into the mixture and combine. This will help some of the granola to bind together when cooking.
  6. Step 6) Bake in the over for 17 minutes on a lower level (not too close to heat). After 17 minutes, turn off your oven and open the oven door partially. Allow your granola to rest for 5 minutes before removing it from oven.
  7. Step 7) Once granola is cooled, use a spatula to transfer to a storage container.
