Granola is one of my favorite go-to snacks! I started making homemade granola about 4 years ago and it quickly became a crowd favorite! It comes together in one bowl using only a handful of pantry staple ingredients. The combination of maple syrup and brown sugar creates a perfectly sweet granola!
Ingredients in Maple Brown Sugar Granola
- Oats: Make sure to sure old fashion rolled oats for this recipe. I love to use Bob’s Red Mill Organic Old Fashion Rolled Oats. Do not use quick cooking or instant oats.
- Nuts: I like to use walnuts, pecans, or a blend of the two. Feel free to use any nut that you like!
- Maple Syrup: Use pure maple syrup for the best flavor.
- Brown Sugar:Â Use light brown sugar. When measuring, make sure to pack into the measuring cup to ensure the proper amount is used.
- Coconut Oil: Make sure to measure the coconut oil once melted.
- Vanilla Extract: Use 100% pure vanilla extract. Do not use imitation vanilla.
- Cinnamon:Â A touch of cinnamon gives the granola the perfect flavor.
- Salt:Â Balances the sweetness of the granola.
Storing Homemade Granola
Homemade granola can stay fresh at room temperature for up to 4 weeks. To ensure the granola stays fresh, store in an airtight container or Ziploc bag. The granola can also be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
