My wife loves granola with her yogurt. For years she's used store-bought granola. One day I suggested that she make her own granola and she listened. So here's Brandi's Cranberry Granola recipe.
She originally made this recipe with mango honey from Whole Foods and used coconut oil instead of olive oil. Since Mango honey is not easy to find, we often make this recipe with regular honey.
Once she figured out how not to burn the granola (which is very easy to do), she made a few variations of this recipe substituting some of the seeds for a slightly different flavor.
The recipe card below calls for Olive Oil but we almost always have Coconut Oil on hand so we often use that instead of Olive Oil. Your choice.
Another variation you could try is to replace the cranberries with raisins. We've done that a couple of times and it was equally delicious.
This granola is quick and easy to make and much cheaper than buying it in the store. And for your Granola lovers out there, you have to try my Pumpkin Chocolate Granola or Banana Crunch Granola recipe.
