1/3 cup pepitas
1/3 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup flax seed meal or flax seeds
1 cup honey
2 tbs light brown sugar
2 tbs coconut oil or vegetable oil

Combine oats, walnuts, pepitas, sunflower seeds and flax seed meal in a mixing bowl.
In a sauce pan, heat honey, brown sugar and vegetable oil on medium low heat. Stir continuously until the brown sugar dissolves.
Pour honey mixture over dry granola and stir well to coat. Then spread evenly on a large foil lined baking sheet.
Bake at 350° F for about 25 minutes. Stir three or four times during the baking process as the oats brown on top.

Of course, I love homemade granola on top of Greek yogurt. Super fast and easy to make, giving me time to sit down and enjoy breakfast for a change.

Honey Nut Granola Recipe Notes

be sure to use gluten free oats if that is a concern

Ways To Use Granola

I’m on a bit of yogurt berry granola kick right now, and have a bowl every morning. With the addition of honey nut granola I have a very satisfying breakfast or snack later in the day, to keep my tummy from growling. Here are a few of my favorite ways to enjoy homemade granola.

make a healthy granola trail mix by adding more nuts, seeds and chocolate chips
top any fruit compotes with granola for a delicious dessert
use homemade granola to make your own parfaits
enjoy it as cereal with milk
granola also makes an excellent topping when baking muffins instead of a crumble topping

Do I have your attention now? Fresh granola is so delicious, and not very expensive to make for yourself at home. Just be sure to store it in an air tight container to keep it fresh. I like to keep mine in jars with a little scoop, so it is easy to serve.
