Honey Bran Granola
I’m a big fan of homemade granola and I usually make it on Saturday mornings. I bake up batches of it year ’round—in the cold weather seasons, I love how the aroma of the granola fills the kitchen, as well as how cozy the warmth from the oven feels as it bakes! And in the…

Chocolate Valentine Granola
If you’re wanting to make an easy treat for Valentine’s Day, this Chocolate Valentine Granola may be just what you’re looking for! It has some healthy ingredients like chia seeds, chopped nuts, honey, and dried cranberries (or cherries). The chocolate chips and heart sprinkles aren’t quite so healthy, but they make this granola such a…

Cranberry-Pecan Granola
I’m a big fan of homemade granola, and whenever I make it, I often share a bag of it with my friend Brady, who is just as much a homemade granola fan as I am! Since Brady is away at school now, I sent him some in a “Care Package” my friend Ann and I…

Tropical Breakfast Parfait
Fruit and yogurt parfaits are perfect for a summer breakfast—it’s nice to have something that’s cool, refreshing, and easy to make! I had come up with this Tropical Breakfast Parfait recipe a few years ago and made it a little fancy by serving it in a vintage glass.

Trail Mix Granola
I’ve mentioned before how much I love homemade granola and how easy it is to make. And this granola recipe is especially easy because you can use your favorite pre-made trail mix in it! For this batch of granola, I used a tropical trail mix, but you can use any flavor you like.

Granola-Carrot Bread
I’ve never heard a quick bread being described as “rustic,” but I think that’s the perfect description for this Granola-Carrot Bread. It’s a real down-to earth quick bread, made with whole wheat flour, grated carrots, granola, light olive oil, and chopped nuts. And it looks kind of rustic, with the texture of the nuts, carrots…

Apricot-Honey Granola
This golden granola reminds me of summertime! The combination of chopped and chunky dried apricots and golden raisins taste great together. Apricot-Honey Granola has a lot of other good things that I often add to my homemade granolas: sunflower kernels, coconut flakes, wheat germ or flaxseed, and chopped nuts.

Coconut Date Granola
It was time for me to make some homemade granola–I make it every few months and this Coconut Date Granola is a sweeter granola than I usually make, because in addition to honey and maple syrup (I usually use one or the other, or some of both) this also is sweetened with light brown sugar. It…

Mixed Fruit Granola
Granola is one of my favorite breakfast items and I love making my own–I’m definitely hooked on homemade granola! I often used dried fruit like cranberries, raisins, and blueberries, but this time I used some freeze-dried fruit. I recently received some complimentary samples from CRUNCHIES® and thought they would work great in granola. CRUNCHIES® offers a variety of freeze-dried fruits (and…

Cranberry Quick Oats Granola
I’ve always made homemade granola with old-fashioned rolled oats—I’ve read that they work better in granola recipes. But one evening when I was wanting to make some granola, I discovered I didn’t have enough rolled oats. And no time to run out and buy more. But I had plenty of quick oats! So I decided to try making…

Berry Walnut Granola
I am a big fan of granola, and I prefer homemade—I think it tastes so much better! I’ve posted several recipes for granola bars, like Crunchy Honey Almond Granola Bars, Dark Chocolate Granola Bars, and chewier Granola Bars. I’ve also made an unsweetened Cranberry Raisin Nut Toasted Oat Cereal. So I thought it was about time I posted a granola…
