Homemade Granola for the kids. And us!

A simple morning or afternoon snack.


























1 cup old fashioned or quick cooking (not instant) oatmeal
1/2 cup sliced or slivered almonds
3 tbs vegetable oil
2 tbs honey

Other suggestions you could add:

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

4 cups rolled oats

1/4 cup sesame seeds

1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds

3/4 cup chopped nuts of your choice

3/4 cup chopped dried fruit

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Toss oatmeal, almonds, oil, and honey together in a large bowl until they are completely combined. Pour onto a baking sheet pan and bake, stirring occasionally with a metal spatula, until the mixture turns an even golden brown, about 20 minutes.
Remove the granola from the oven, scrape the pan with the spatula to loosen the granola, and allow to cool, stirring once.

Add plain yogurt, blueberries, strawberries, bananas or any fresh fruit for a healthy and tasty treat for the kids.
