Healthy Homemade Granola

Recipe Description

Healthy Homemade Granola requires just a handful of ingredients, quick and easy to make, and tastes delicious. It is also gluten-free and dairy-free. This simple granola is filled with wholesome ingredients, and all of them are healthy alternatives to what we can usually find in store-bought brands. Besides, store-bought granola is always expensive and not as fresh as granola you can make at home. 

I have been making my own granola from what I can remember. And it has always been one of my kids’ favorite snacks. This recipe is really easy to make. Just mix all the dry ingredients, then add wet ingredients, spread evenly onto a baking sheet and bake. This granola takes about 20-25 minutes in the oven. Don’t forget to mix once halfway through for even baking. It is so good and delicious that you might want to eat it by the handful!

To make the Healthy Homemade Granola, you will need the following ingredients:
