Healthy Granola Fast

My family LOVES granola but I needed to find a way to make healthy granola fast!  This recipe is perfect – and you can add ingredients to make it just the way you like!

So I can’t tell you how much my family loves granola!  We eat it plain, with milk and I even pre-make these super yummy yogurt parfaits with granola to help us all get out of the house on time on busy mornings!

I was getting tired of paying so much money each week for pre-packaged granola and it wasn’t even that great!  So I decided it would be easier, healthier AND cheaper for me to just make my own!

I started with simple ingredients – just 6!  Now you could use a blender with this but I LOVE my Tupperware Power Chef System.  It’s basically a manual food processor and it is awesome.  The super sharp blades pulverize almost anything but without making it into mush! I use it for salsa, homemade ice cream, hiding veggies from my kids, you name it! But a blender should work fine for this recipe as well.

I buy my pecans shelled but not chopped because they are such a better deal.  My hubby doesn’t like large pieces of nuts in his granola, so I put the 1 cup of pecans in first and turn the handle a few times just to chop them a little extra.

Then I add in the 1 cup of oats, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 up all purpose flour, 1 1/2 TBS cinnamon and 6 TBS melted butter.  Turn the handle a few times until it’s all mixed.  Sometimes I add in raisins and coconut too but not tonight!

I then dump the whole mixture onto a foil-lined pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray.

Pop it in the oven at 350 for 18 minutes, stirring half way through.

Let it cool, put it in a storage container and wipe down the pan!  No mess because you used the aluminum foil!  Easy AND Yummy AND Healthy!

    I use to make my own granola, but stopped. Not sure why. This has got me motivated to start again. It looks really good.
