Healthy Homemade Granola Baby!
Hola Familia,
Let’s talk granola! I don’t know about you, but finding the perfect store-bought granola is a struggle. So many have sneaky ingredients and overloaded with sugar. That’s why I started making my own at home, and let me tell you; it’s so simple and delicious, I never looked back! 😛
Here’s my go-to recipe for Healthy Homemade Granola, and trust me, it’s a game-changer. Plus, it’s totally customizable, so you can get creative and make it just how you like it.
What you Need:
✨ Organic rolled oats – The base of any good granola. Make sure they're rolled, not instant!
✨ Coconut nectar – I love using this because it’s naturally low-glycemic and has a low fructose content. Keeps things sweet without the sugar rush.
✨ Sliced almonds – For that satisfying crunch. Plus, healthy fats!
✨ Hemp seeds – A little protein boost, omega-3s, and a subtle nuttiness.
✨ Cinnamon & nutmeg – A cozy flavor combo. You can add more or less depending on how warm and spiced you want it!

Add as much of the ingredients as you’d like, mix all dried ingredients, add in your sweetener, and mix again. You’re looking for all ingredients to be fully incorporated, add as much sweetener as you prefer. Bake in the oven at 300 for 15 - twenty min. Done!
This is a very simple version and you can customize your own: cacao, coconut chips, dried fruit! So many possibilities! What would you add?
How to Make:
Start by mixing all your dry ingredients in a bowl. Get those oats, almonds, hemp seeds, and spices all cozy together.
Next, drizzle in your sweetener. Coconut nectar is my personal fave because of its low-glycemic magic, but you can adjust the amount depending on how sweet you want your granola.
Stir it all up so everything is evenly coated. You want every little oat and almond slice to get some love.
Spread it out on a baking sheet in an even layer (no clumps for even baking).
Pop it in the oven at 300°F for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through so it bakes evenly. You’ll know it’s done when it’s golden and your kitchen smells amazing!
✨ Pro Tip: If you want chunkier granola, press the mixture down a bit before baking and avoid stirring too much. For looser granola, stir a couple of times while it bakes!
Customization Time!
Now, here’s where the fun really begins. This is just the basic recipe, but you can make it your own by adding:
Cacao nibs for a rich chocolatey crunch.
Coconut chips for some tropical vibes.
Dried fruit like raisins, cranberries, or goji berries. (I like adding these after baking so they stay soft and chewy).
Chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, or even flax seeds for extra texture and nutrition.
Honestly, the possibilities are endless! What would you add to make it your perfect granola? I’m always looking for new ideas! 😊
Enjoy your homemade, healthy, and super yummy granola!
