How to Make Granola | Foolproof Granola Recipe

This super easy base granola recipe can be customized in so many different ways and is SO easy to make! If you can measure, pour, stir, and bake - you can make this. Homemade granola can be stored for up to a month in an airtight container at room temperature so it's a great make-ahead breakfast option, especially when you've got lots of kids like I do.
Here's the recipe to make a small, single batch (enough to fill a quart jar):
1/4 cup discard sourdough starter (active sourdough starter is ok too)
1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup crisp rice cereal
1/2 cup chopped, raw nuts
2 T sunflower seeds/seeds of choice

That looks so good. When I was a kid, my mom would always add diced dried apricots and dates. We got the apricots from my grandparents farm. So good.

[@HopewellHeights]

Oh that sounds so delicious!! We are big date fans in my house!

Can't wait to try this! The past couple years I've been experimenting with granola as a quick breakfast for my crew, and it's so fun to try different flavors-- chocolate peanut butter, apple spice, carrot cake, cranberry orange...the possibilities are endless! I never thought of using sourdough though!

[@ThingsAbove333]

Great recipe. Thank you!😊

[@kathryncurry8728]

I’m so in love with your copper salt pot! I’d love to find something similar when I’m vintage shopping ❤

[@HopewellHeights]

Thrift finds are the best!!

[@ashleyirizarry-diaz6415]

Yum! Making it tomorrow!

[@HomemakerHelper]

Oooh I can't wait to try this! I have a recipe my mom made that's more simple but still good. I bet this is heavenly ❤❤ I love how you can get so creative with my granola and it's always good.

[@HopewellHeights]

Awesome ❤

This looks terrific. I make granola also and the binder is tahini and date paste and tastes yummy. However having a good quality tahini on hand doesn’t always happen. Can’t wait to make it this way. And yes, making it at home is so cost effective and sooooo much healthier. Thank you for a great recipe.

[@HOUSEFULLOFLEES]

Love this❤. I'm running home after work to make this.

[@HopewellHeights]

Wow I never thought of putting starter in my homemade granola 💝...my family loves me to make granola. I really appreciate sprouted oats

[@HopewellHeights]

Such a great way to use extra starter!

[@maloribryant1407]

Perfect timing!! I literally said the other day that I need to figure out how to make homemade granola since we go through it so fast and I’m tired of paying the price it is! Thank you! Can you make a cook book yet?! ❤😉

[@HopewellHeights]

Such a money saver and so little effort! Haha maybe one day I’ll have one take all my posts and make one for me!

[@ThisMamasFaith]

One of my favorite things to make for my family! I like to add egg whites and a bit of AP flour and dried apricots!

[@HopewellHeights]

Good idea on the egg whites for extra protein!

[@theaweggen6805]

[@HopewellHeights]

[@slayxyourxday]

Looks delicious! What are cinnamon chips? Do you make them or should I raid my grocery store 😂

[@tarapaton5155]

New to your channel and I love it! Will you be doing a Q&A video at all? Like a get to know you?

[@faithreyes8797]

I’ve got some of your granola in the oven now!!! Can’t wait:)

[@HopewellHeights]

You’re going to love it!

[@faithreyes8797]

@@HopewellHeights I’m sure I will!! I added dried blueberries, shredded coconut and some freeze dried strawberries with cardamom and some other great spices.

[@natalieterry1697]

I have made a few batches of granola lately. I am not sure i love it, so i am so glad to find your recipe, extra points that i can use my discard in it as well😂. I like to add raisins to mine. I have been baking the raisins with the granola. Do you think it would be better to wait like you did for your cinnamon chips? What are cinnamon chips, btw?

[@cleocleo9374]

Hello, what water filters are you using now, since they discontinued the filters. Thank you. Berkey

[@jackieedler1572]

Are these rice crispy made or store bought.

[@NuriCollins]

Can you substitute the coconut oil for olive oil? I'm allergic to coconut.

[@katieociardha2196]

Yes, but it will change the taste ❤️ butter would taste better, or a neutral oil / fat

[@gamingisabellajones6880]

I'm excited for the baby. Do you and your husband plan on having another? Or is this child going to be your last?

[@HopewellHeights]

We are so excited!! No plans, just going to see what the Lord has in store for us!
