Nutty Granola With Cranberries and Raisins

August 10, 2016 by Vanessa Leave a Comment

Lately, I’ve wanted to make more of my food from scratch.

I have more time to cook since resigning from my full-time job and I care more about the food I eat. Do you cook things from scratch?

This morning I baked a batch of Nutty Granola with Cranberries and Raisins and let me tell you something…it was hard to not resist eating fresh from the oven. I nearly scorched my mouth gobbling up a spoonful of the oatmeal goodness. It’s easy to prepare and makes about two large mason jars.

I think more people would make granola if they realized how simple it is to prepare. You can use different mix-ins in this recipe (mine is always heavy on added fruit) like coconut, quinoa, pumpkin seeds, and nuts. I kept this recipe simple and knocked back the sugar by eliminating brown sugar. Instead of incorporating cinnamon into it, I substituted pumpkin spice. It may be the end of summer, but my stomach is already thinking it’s fall!

Love this milk carrier? You can find more just like it at The Vintage Rhinestone. It could be used to display flowers or serve as a carrier for party drinks with pretty straws.

Step 1: Preheat oven to 300 degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl using a wooden spoon.

Put all recipe ingredients into a bowl and mix well. Note: I took this picture before adding the wet ingredients.

Step 3: Transfer granola mixture to the baking sheet and evenly spread it out. Bake at 300 degrees for 30 minutes. Move the granola around every 10 minutes.

Step 4: Allow the granola to cool and serve with yogurt and fruit or as a cereal.

Smoothie bowls are uber trendy so try adding granola to your yogurt favorites.
