The world’s best granola recipe! Our family’s favorite!
I have a confession to make. I’m a granola addict. I admit it.
I have a confession to make. I’m a granola addict. I admit it.It all started at the girl’s trip with my sisters and mom. My sister Nicole brought a big baggie of her homemade granola. We ate it with yogurt and fruit every morning and I couldn’t. get. enough. It is SO good. It has the perfect amount of sweetness and lots of crunch.
Truth be told, I’d had the recipe written down for a while in my recipe folder but just hadn’t made it yet. After devouring several bowl fulls of the stuff on our trip, I decided I HAD to introduce my family to this amazing granola.
I made it twice in one week and just bought the ingredients to make it a third time! In fact, the last time I made it, my neighbor actually came over to my house and knocked on my door and asked what I was baking because it smelled so good!!! Can you believe that?!?! Yep, people. Be prepared for a serious treat that will make your kitchen smell amaizng!
Nicole is known around her neck of the woods for this granola so consider yourself lucky to be getting her secret classified recipe. 😉

- 6 c. old fashioned oats
- 2 c. raw almonds chopped (I buy them pre-sliced)

Hi Jen,
I just love a great homemade Granola and your recipe looks awesome, can’t wait to try it. Hope you are having a great weekend and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.

I’ve never made my own granola before….you’ve inspired me to consider it. I have most of those ingredients in the panty. Could I sub agave nectar for honey?
I would love for you to add this recipe to my Weekend Meal Planner linky!
Yum! I love homemade granola!!
you just mentioned scoops – what is that suppose to mean??? how many? how big?
Thanks
Hi Anonymous!! I changed the recipe to display more correct measurements. Basically the flaxseed and wheat germ is an eyeball amount. If you like it, add more. If not, put less in. Sorry for the confusion!!
Best,
Jen @ Yummy. Healthy. Easy.
I love homemade granola, and this sounds very good!
I’ve tried so many different granola recipes and none of them have turned out the way I like it so I am definitely going to be making this soon (maybe when it’s not 1000 degrees outside 🙂 )! Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks so much! We love this granola recipe, hopefully you do too! Thanks for stopping by!
