I grew up on homemade granola. My mom used to make it all the time when I was little. As we got older, she made it less frequently and it became more of a treat, so homemade granola has always been a comfort food for me.
I don’t buy boxed breakfast cereals anymore so granola is great to have around for a quick breakfast on those mornings I don’t have time to make eggs or pancakes. My mother’s recipe had some ingredients I didn’t like so I tried a few until I came up with this gluten-free one.
This recipe makes a lot, but that’s okay. It keeps well for weeks in an airtight container. Our whole family loves it. Well, except for my son who is allergic to nuts; he eats prefers oatmeal, anyway, so it’s all good.
It’s pretty easy to throw together, but you do need two large sheet pans and some patience. I like to toss it a few times during the cooking time so it browns evenly.

thanks for sharing this Jo-Lynne. I eat Bear Naked Granola almost every.single.day. I adore the stuff. I have been eating it for a couple of years. I keep thinking that I should try making my own, now I have no longer got an excuse! My granola has gone up in price to $4 or $5 per bag so I really need to get started on this sooner instead of later! 😉

Yum! Thanks for sharing this! I’ll definitely give it a try. I so want to stop buying boxed cereal. It’s one of the few things I just can’t seem to give up because it’s so darn easy for the kids to make their own breakfast!!!!!

This looks delicious! I make homemade granola also and rarely buy box cereal but there are a few additions in this recipe that I have not tried yet.

My daughter asked a good question…how do you get yours to be in clusters like the store bought? That is one thing the kids always like about the store bought versions. Ours is always very loose.

I find that it depends on the recipe. Some recipes make a looser granola than this one.

Asparagus Frittata
You know spring has arrived when the fresh, locally grown asparagus starts popping up at the farmers’ markets! I anxiously await asparagus season every year. Asparagus is only harvested for a few short weeks so we try to make the most of it while we have it readily available. I usually just roast it with...

A Day Late and A Dollar Short, As Usual…
Stop the presses. Jo-Lynne is blogging about politics. Okay, first of all, I hate politics. I can count on one hand the amount of times I blogged about politics. In fact, it was once, I believe. If you remember what it was, you get a prize. I don’t like politics because you are forced to...
