I found the easiest homemade granola recipe. There are only five ingredients and it takes about half an hour to make, including prep time. And I had everything in my kitchen so I didn't even have to run to the store!
There are a few things to remember when making granola:
- It's only good for a week so make a little at a time! You can always make more later!
- You can add anything you want to this recipe: nuts, cranberries, raisins...the options are endless!
- Always store in an airtight container! I think a glass one you could set on your counter would work perfectly (and it would look cute too!)!

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
