I don't know if it's the start of the school year, the cooler weather kicking in or the fact that Liam ate the Trader Joe's version of a Fig Newton for breakfast, but it's time for some hearty whole grains and honey in this house. I am such a fan of this recipe. Not only because it tastes awesome and is packed with nutrition but because when it's baking, it smells incredible.
Homemade Granola
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
3/4 cup slivered or sliced blanched almonds
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup unsalted sunflower seeds
2 T ground flaxseed
1 T flax seed oil (optional)
Toss together oats, coconut and almonds. In small bowl, whisk together oil and honey; stir into the oat mixture. Spread out on a rimmed baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 17 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes; stir in flaxseed oil (if using). Let cool completely. Transfer to large bowl and mix in the rest of the ingredients. Great on yogurt, in milk or by the handful.

I'm taking your fall bait and making this today. I am excited to have a new healthy snack in the house... hopefully the small ones will agree!
Thanks for sharing!
This morning Liam made a "banana split" with it (by himself) - vanilla yogurt, sliced banana, granola, chocolate syrup and a blueberry on top! Enjoy.
