Maple-Nut Granola

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read the disclosure policy.

If you’ve never made your own granola, you’ll be amazed at how easy it is to make. Just combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl, mix in the wet ingredients, and bake until golden brown. The best part is that homemade granola is endlessly customizable, just substitute your favorite nuts or dried fruit.

My family enjoys the maple-nut flavor of this heart-healthy granola, but feel free to create your own custom blend. My husband and I do a lot of outdoor activities and we always carry granola with us just in case hunger strikes. Packed with crunchy oats, toasted nuts, healthy seeds, coconut, and a medley of dried fruit that will keep you going throughout your day.

This granola is perfect sprinkled over yogurt, eaten by the handful, or even with a splash of milk.
