I love this recipe. I too had been looking for a good-for-you-easy breakfast and this is it!! The amazing thing that I discovered was that I didn’t get hungry as early as I did when I’d eat bagels w/ light cream cheese, or flax seed waffles (no syrup). My 2 adult kids live with me and they both can’t get enough. Thanks for posting this. YUMMMM!!!

Hey Matt! I love homemade granola too. I just made my second batch of it last week. However, since the oats and nuts have phytic acid in them, they should be soaked so that they are easier to digest. Check out Kara’s recipe for granola at: http://goodlookingcook.blogspot.com/2009/09/feel-good-granola.html
It takes a little longer but the extra nutrients you’ll get are worth it.
Enjoy!

I’m excited to try this recipe. When you say “shaved coconut” is that the sweetened stuff in the baking aisle? Or should I be looking for something else?

Thanks!

Awesome Elizabeth. It’s delicious isn’t it! And so easy and cheap too – we love it, glad you do too.

Thanks for the fantastic recipe, Matt! I also love your blog. It’s inspired me to set some budget goals for the first time.

I’ve made the granola twice already and it’s a big hit. I stocked up on Quaker Old Fashioned oats, which luckily I found out are the small thing as rolled oats, and a jug o’ maple syrup at Sam’s Club yesterday, so I should be able to keep my granola-addicted husband supplied

I finally tried it with SCO, and not so great. The oats didn't "cook" through all the way. I'll try with regular oats soon! .-= Michelle´s last blog ..Some recent pages =-.

Yummy! Granola is one of my favorites! I usually purchase Canola Farms version and it so expensive. I’m looking forward to making my own and saving money. Super combination. Thanks!

Hey Laura: FYI, my wife tried this without buttering the pan (accidentally) and found that as long as she stirred the granola up right after it came out of the oven the 2nd time (before it cools), she didn’t even need that butter!

Thanks for sharing the recipe. I’ve been making homemade granola for some time but have never made a version without oil/butter like this, I’m due to make more and look forward to trying it. I have to make a couple varieties to please my family, some don’t like dried fruit or coconut, etc. But the great thing is it is very versatile that way. I also add ground flax and wheat germ to my mix before baking. They’ll never know!

If you find your stuff is too expensive, experiment with a few different (cheaper) ingredients until you find the recipe that fits perfectly to your taste buds and your pocketbook!

I just saw this post after the breakfast post. I love making granola too, but I wasn't sure how much cheaper it was. But if you say it is, then I'm going with that! Thanks .-= Michelle Traudt´s last blog ..10 Item Challenge =-.

I would assume STO will work as long as they’re not much thicker than rolled oats – if they are you may just have to bump up the cooking time. Let us know how it goes.

I usually buy the steel cut oats (if not using the quick oats), would they work as well in this? Or should I stick with the rolled oats?

The recipe itself sounds so yummy! I can’t wait to try it tomorrow!

OH YEAH… the wife & I always try to use the fresh stuff. Be it ginger, garlic, nutmeg, basil, parsley, cilantro, etc… fresh is always best. I think I’ll try adding a little fresh nutmeg to our next batch.

The planets must be in alignment…. ha!

I’ll have to twist her arm on the coconut – haven’t had it in ages. And having it toasted…. drewwwlll

Thanks for the kind words. I’ll let you in on a little secret on her recipe: Use fresh ground nutmeg. Takes it to a whole other level.

cheers!

Oh man… the coconut and the almonds make ALL the difference. Have her make you a special batch.

I moseyed over to your site to check out her recipe – looks really good. How crazy that we both posted ours on the same day. Ha!
