Healthy Granola

Used almond extract instead of vanilla. Also used a bit of chai spice. Very good.

Added dessicated Coconut half way through!!

First time making granola. I love this recipe. Easy to make. Used pecan pieces. Also added shredded coconut at the end. Made a yogurt parfait! Will be making again!

I used olive and walnut oil and it's amazingly delicious!

Very good. Add ingredients you want. Better than what is in the grocery stores.

Made this several times. Use 1/4 cup maple syrup and 1/4 cup honey. Trying pepitas with the almonds this time.

I love this granola so fun to change up the toppings! I normally add dried fruit and chocolate chips and toasted coconut

Great recipe! Just followed the instructions and it's a light granola which is lightly sweet!

Used pepitas, sliced almonds, pecans, dried cherries, Cranberries, golden raisins

Bake on 300 for thirty minutes. (Stir every ten minutes.) Take out of oven and sprinkle raisins and gogi berries on top. Do not stir until it's cool.

Super simple and very tasty, can be modified easily to include sweetener of choice. We used sunflower oil instead of coconut oil and it works well. My toddler loves putting in all the ingredients and mixing it up so recommend doing it with kiddos if you have them!

Wow I've been making granola every week for the past month or more, and this time when I used maple syrup as the sweetener (as per the recipe), it turned out amazingly rich in flavor. Highly recommended. P.S.: I used corn oil because I didn't have coconut oil.

Follow this loosely and customize for flavor.

Added extra walnuts, cashews and almonds, hemp hearts and coconut. Increased cinnamon to 1 teaspoon. Delicious!

I will add less salt next time, but I used salted sunflower kernels, so that was my fault. It's still very good. I will eat with fruit and Greek yogurt.

Easy and delicious

Add what you like in your granola

Stir twice whilst cooking!

I added extra cinnamon and honey and was delicious!

Simple and easy, just add your own preferred add-ins, or substitute your preferred nuts/fruit. This time I chose walnuts and pecans with chocolate chips.

Didn't read the recipe very closely, so I ended up cooking it too long. I also added the raisins and coconut before baking which was a mistake. Will probably try it again and try to be more accurate! Edit: made it again to today, and was careful to not over cook it. Let it harden on the pan for a couple hours while I was gone. Came back, and it broke up nicely into larger chunks and then crumbly pieces. Sooo good! Ate too much today 🤭 used honey, coconut oil, chopped almonds and cashews, and no add-ins this time. Addictive!

I added sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, cocoa nibs, shaved coconut and raisins.

Very tasty, didn't clump up like I hoped, but so good. Made the whole house smell amazing

Not crispy enough cooked for 22 to 25 mins. Maybe cook at 275° for 50 to 55 min.

Use much less salt than stated. Absolutely fabulous and healthy go to for a quick breakfast or snack

I ended up being out of coconut oil so I feel like that would have changed the flavor but I felt like it needed more sweetness. Easy and simple recipe so well try again!

21-24 mins 176 degrees

Use regular baking sheet, mine was not crunchy enough but very tasty

I tweek it based on who I make it for. So far, I prefer coconut oil, and I add unsweetened coconut flakes, Chia, flax, and hemp seeds. My hubby and I LOVE it! It's more savory than sweet, but we don't mind.

My go granola recipe that I absolutely love ! I add coconut flakes, Choco chips, flax seed meal, chia seeds, honey, raisins and any nuts that I have on hand.

Some of the best granola I’ve ever had. Everyone in the fam enjoyed it!! Will definitely be making this again and again. :)

My whole family loves this granola! I always add more cinnamon, a pinch of allspice and cloves, as well as a sprinkle of ginger powder. Then for sweetening I use half maple syrup, half honey. We like it extra crunchy, so I add a few more minutes of bake time. I always make it with pumpkin seeds and raisins. An easy, fast and delicious breakfast or anytime option!

First time I've made my own granola. It's miles better than anything shop bought. Even though I ended up having to use golden syrup cos my honey went all funny

Really nice, I didn't quite use enough maple syrup and olive oil so mine weren't as stuck together but still really nice, tastes great.

Fantastic. I used dried goji berries and mixed in grated 100% dark chocolate. My husband said its the best Cereal he's ever had!

The best granola!

Granola recipe from Lucy

I made a half recipe. Sweet, salty and crunchy

Favorite granola recipe! I add crystallized ginger slices with the fruit.

Had to split between two baking sheets because it made quite a bit. Also makes your house smell delicious ❤️

My new go-to granola recipe. Doesn’t make clumps but still super crispy and tasty. I used 2 parts slivered almonds and 1 part pepitas for the nuts and it turned out great.

Love the olive oil tip. I also like to add thyme for an extra savory tang. I made a variation with raisins & pecans and another with hazelnuts & cranberries. Almonds are up next!

Sooo delicious! I Added shredded coconut, chia seeds and mini chocolate chips, used half the salt

Never, ever buying granola again. This is simple and the results are gorgeous. I overcooked it (not a problem for me as too crunchy doesn't really exist) so the cooking time instructions mean it. I followed the amendments further down the notes and added an extra cup of oats.

Made this for my Dad as a present. I began with the "Normal " granola recipe and then opted for the Gingerbread recipe. Excited to let him try it out (I snacked on it too and it was good!)

Lovely Granola with the added dried fruit and nuts.

176 Grad Celsius; Salz würde ich weglassen

I followed this recipe(I chose the coconut oil and maple syrup). I added 3 Tablespoons of brown sugar that I saw in a similar recipe just because I like a sweeter granola and I didn’t add any dried fruit or chocolate chips just because of personal preference.

Careful to not be like me and overcook your nuts! Absolutely delicious otherwise

I use half maple syrup half molasses

This time around I cooked it at 350 for 20 minutes, and then broiled it at 440 for 2 minutes. I used less sugar and salt than recommended, and a quarter cup extra nuts and oats each. I used quick oats. It is crispy and crumbly. No real chunks. But the flavor is great. Next time I recommend I use more syrup in the hope that it'll stick better. I'll also cook out at 375, checking it at 10 minutes, and 15 minutes. If it's not crunchy/ toasty, I'll broil at 450 for one minute. I'll also try large/old fashioned oats to see if the bigger size will help them stick together. It perfectly fills a plastic nut container from Costco.

Used 5 cups oats, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and zest of orange. Added whispers of clove, ginger, nutmeg, allspice. Super good. From FB:, a member wrote This post is in regards to a granola recipe that is quite popular in this group. Here's the recipe: https://cookieandkate.com/healthy-granola-recipe/ I have made it several times and really like it. It reminded me a lot of granola I've made in the past from a Cooks Illustrated recipe. I finally took the time today to compare the recipes and now I see why I like this one from Cookie & Kate. It's nearly the same! 😄 Since I made the one I posted here, I've tweaked it to my taste. Turns out the tweaks match more of my original recipe. I thought I'd share a couple of things my original called for that I've incorporated to make my own version. - I use 5 cups of oats, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 1/2 to 2 tsp vanilla. - For Penzeys spice fans, their baking spice is 👍 in place of the cinnamon. Also McCormick has an organic cinnamon, nutmeg, and chia blend that is a nice choice. - If you like more chunky granola, dump it into the pan and using a wide spatula or bench scraper press the granola down hard into the pan. Do not stir will cooking, but do rotate the pan. - If you find the edges tend to burn easily or get a bit too done, bump the oven temperature to 350° and cook it for 30-45 minutes. Start checking it at 30 every few minutes. I've kind of blended the two recipes to get one rockin good granola that I make often. I hope these bits I've discovered help someone else to make it their own!

This was fantastic! I've been paying high prices for fancy granola not realizing how simple it is. This recipe gives you the fundamentals which allows you to get creative. For mine, I used maple syrup, honey, coarsely chopped almonds, cranberries and dates. Delish!

Super easy, super yum! I used pecans, walnuts and almonds for the nuts, and dried blueberries and cranberries at the end. I also used extra cinnamon with a dash of allspice and ground cloves for extra oomph. Filled up 2 big mason jars with granola. And the yogurt bowl is vanilla yogurt, fresh strawberries, homemade almond butter and obviously the granola, in case anyone wants to replicate 😉

I always use honey, extra cinnamon, and change up the fruits based on what I have.

I added almond meal
