Cinnamon Pecan Granola

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

I have a confession… I may have become just a little bit addicted to making homemade granola. It is just so much fun to play around with different combinations of grains and dried fruits. Plus, it is incredibly easy to make. Who needs boring bran flakes when you can make your own healthy cereal at home? Last weekend, I had an extra day off for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, so I decided to make another batch of granola. Let me tell you, this will have your house smelling so delicious!

The great thing about making your own granola is that you can control just how much sugar goes into the recipe. When I have tried boxed granola from the store in the past, it was just too sugary for me. Plus, I can add whatever healthy ingredients I want like nuts, chia seeds, and coconut oil. I’ve been enjoying this granola all week topped with mango and plain yogurt. Yum. Granola doesn’t have to be limited to breakfast either; it can be a great snack too!
