I really enjoy granola for breakfast or sometimes as a snack. I don't always trust that commercial granola is low sugar or full of preservatives. I wanted to try putting together one I thought would taste good and I know what's in it. This is low sugar.

2 cupsOld Fashioned Oats
1/2-1 cupshredded Coconut
1/2 cupAlmonds, chopped (I used coconut flavored)
1Large Apple, cored, seeded & chopped (leave skin on)
1/2 cupHoney
4 TablespoonsButter (1/2 Stick) melted
1 TablespoonsCinnamon
1/2 TablespoonGinger (or you could use Nutmeg)
1/2 cupCraisins (dried cranberries)

Cooking Instructions

1

Pre heat oven to 275 degrees and generously spray a 13 x 9 sided pan with non-stick cooking spray (I used butter flavored)
2

Put oats, coconut and nuts in a large bowl and combine. (leave the craisins for later)
3

Add chopped apple, melted butter and seasonings to the dry ingredients. Mix very well.
4

Place granola in pan and spread out.
5

Put pan of granola in the prepared oven. Take granola out and stir every 15 minutes. Do this for at least an hour. Watch for the granola to brown and the apples are not as juicy. I shut my oven off and left the granola in to help dry out.
6

One done, take granola out and let cool completely. Once cool, add the craisins and keep in an airtight container.

Granola is one of those foods that is expensive to buy, but super easy to make. And you can make it to your liking - add nuts or fruit, maple syrup or honey, a variety of spices. Don't be afraid to experiment. All measurements are subject to your preference.

For my usual breakfasts, I rotate between smoothies, oatmeal and granola. I don't like to buy pre-packaged granola though and this is my latest variation. It's sweet (but not too sweet) and slightly tart. Any dried fruit can be substituted for the dried cranberries, I'm just a big fan of the cranberries.

This recipe was inspired by my visit to a friends house. I wanted to whip-up this for breakfast, but at the absence of an oven this is a perfect alternative. I always love granola weather it is in a bar or home-made in zip-locked bag. I love the taste of spices as well as the crunch I get from the roasted oats and the fresh fruits. This is an excellent snack and breakfast since it gives you your daily dose of fiber and vitamins. It also keeps you full for a long time. So I hope you guys would try my recipe and love it like I do.

Granola is a healthy option for breakfast or a snack between main meals. It's simple to prepare, and you can substitute or add your favorite nuts. I made a small batch, so if you're a granola lover, double the quantity. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.

I went on a trip and fell in love with granola and yogurt parfaits. So, I began to buy non fat Greek yogurt along with store bought granola. I could not believe how much fat was in the granola, so I experimented with making my own. Although there might be a few more calories from the sugar, it is healthier because it is less fatty and made with all natural ingredients. However, if you are super health concise you can always replace both sugars with Stevia or Splenda. You can also put in chocolate chips, cranberries, or slivered almonds to give it your own personal flare! Enjoy!
