In the past few years, granola has become so popular that you can't miss the countless brands on supermarket shelves. You'll find it in the form of loose granola or granola bars. Though store-bought granola is just fine, it's so easy -- and fun -- to make granola at home. Vary a basic recipe and come up with your own customized combination of granola. Use whatever nuts, seeds, grains or dried fruit you like.
Our collection of recipes features many possible combinations for granola. And it's ok to mix up the ingredients with a few substitutions. Some of our recipes use coconut oil for a lower fat version. And for sweeteners, we have recipes that use honey, maple syrup or even apple juice. The granola creativity is up to you!
