Simple Homemade Granola, a wonderful recipe to eat with milk, yogurt or cottage cheese.
I love my simple homemade granola for breakfast in summer. I top cottage cheese or yogurt with it and enjoy a light easy meal.

What I love about making homemade granola is you can mix it up with the ingredients and get a whole new flavor.
With homemade granola you can swap out the dried cherries for dried blueberries, cranberries or tried and true raisins.
I used slivered almonds as the nuts in this version but you can use pecans, macadamia nuts, pistachios…you name it. Or you can make it nut free!
Okay enough chatter here is the recipe….
Basic granola recipe that can be modified in many different ways. Have fun adding your own unique flavors to this tried and true recipe.Simple Homemade Granola

The toasted Sesame Seeds add a depth of flavor that I truly miss if I leave them out. There are so many ways to customize this recipe to suit your own taste that makes it even more fun.

Hi Pamela, I made the granola yesterday. This is a good recipe, thanks. I added coated dates, goji berries, coconut & hemp seeds because I needed to use them in something before they went bad. I sometimes shop at Winco (and get a little carried away) in the bulk section (spices/nuts, etc.). Perhaps you have a Winco in your vicinity. Anyhow, again, thanks

This looks fantastic. I am trying to equate it to Weight Watcher points. Do you have an idea what a serving size would be or the number of serving from the recipe? Thank you..

For a half cup it is about 600 calories so I don't think it is something to eat a lot of. I use 1/4 cup on some plain yogurt sweetened with stevia for a treat and some fruit. Or I have it on cottage cheese and fruit. I hope this helps. :)
