Granola Goodness

This was featured as one of my recipes in our local magazine, Wilson Living. You can check out the entire magazine HERE.

Jennie B’s Homemade Granola

2 cups Old Fashion OatsGranola

3/4 cup Nuts & Seeds gently chopped (My favorite is Walnuts, Pecans & Almonds)

1/2 cup Dried Fruit (I like raisins, but be sure they are organic as raisins contain a lot of pesticides)

1/4 Raw Unsweetened Coconut

4 Tbs Raw Local Honey

3 tsp. Cinnamon

1 Tbs Coconut oil (melted)

Combine all ingredients using your hands. Spread out on jelly roll pan.

Bake @ 300 for 10-15 minutes. Be sure to check it every 5 minutes and stir. After 10 minutes check it every minute, it will over bake very quickly. One good indicator that it is done is when the raisins start to swell. As it cools it will get harder.

When you pull it out of the oven add 1/8-1/4 tsp of powdered stevia.

Enjoy! Please let me know how you like it!

Be Happy. Be Healthy. Be You.
