A simple, homemade granola that delivers big flavor and real crunch, customizable to your taste and dietary needs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup raw nuts, chopped (almonds, pecans, or walnuts)
  • 1/2 cup raw seeds (pumpkin or sunflower)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup or honey
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or light olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, or cherries), added after baking

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix oats, nuts, seeds, coconut (if using), salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a big bowl.
  3. Whisk maple syrup (or honey), melted oil, and vanilla in a small bowl or measuring cup.
  4. Pour the wet mix over the dry mix. Stir until every oat looks lightly coated and glossy.
  5. Spread the granola in an even layer on the sheet. Press it down firmly with a spatula to help form clusters.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes at 325°F (165°C), turning the pan once. For big clusters, do not stir; for looser granola, gently stir at the 12-minute mark. Bake until the edges are golden.
  7. Cool the pan fully (about 30 minutes). Break into chunks, then stir in dried fruit. Serve or store.

Notes

For big clusters, press the mix flat and skip stirring. Watch the last 3–5 minutes; nuts can go from toasty to too dark fast.
