Homemade Cranberry Granola

I love a hearty, healthy breakfast and making this homemade granola is one of my favorite ways to get lots of nutrients into my family in the morning. They think they’re eating cereal, but I know that the granola is so much better for them and it just tastes so good!

This recipe is great because you can make it up ahead of time and it will store well in the pantry for several days. When you’re ready for breakfast, simply serve it with milk or yogurt and you’re good to go.

I love make ahead breakfasts like this one because with a little bit of extra effort you can ensure that your family is getting a healthy breakfast without having to put the work in each and every morning.

You can also easily customize the ingredients for this recipe to better fit your tastes or if you just need to use up what you already have on hand. See below for some ideas.

How to make Homemade Cranberry Granola:

makes 12 servings

Preheat oven to 300F degrees.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, sunflower seeds, ground flaxseed, and cinnamon. Set aside.

In medium mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, brown sugar, melted coconut oil, agave, and vanilla.

Combine the wet mixture with the oat mixture and stir well.

Pour the granola onto a large greased cookie sheet and gently spread out into a thin layer (do not press down).

Bake at 300F for 15-18 minutes until golden brown, but not too dark around the edges.

Remove the tray of granola from the oven and sprinkle with the dried cranberries.

Allow the granola to cool on the baking sheet until room temperature.

Break the granola into bite-sized pieces.

Store the granola at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days. I like to store mine in a 1/2 gallon mason jar like this one.

    1. I think it would work. You might have to add just a tad more oil to it... Or... Just make sure they're pressed down firm for the bars.
  1. Way too much sugar!! If you take out the agave syrup, brown sugar and maple syrup and replace that with a cup and a half of unsweetened apple sauce your can shave off 100 calories per serving. Add a pinch of salt to bring out the flavours 😍 21g of sugar per serving is just as bad as store bought. This version might be home made but it isn’t healthy. You also have 10g less sugar per serving by using apple sauce.
