Quick & Healthy Granola Recipe (Delicious!)

One year I received a jar of this granola as a Christmas gift from one of my preschool students. So thankful the mom attached the recipe because it’s delicious. This is a super quick, throw together type of granola – just dump and bake! I love those types of recipes.

Here are your ingredients: oats, almonds, quinoa, wheat germ (or I used flax), pecans, mini chocolate chips, honey, oil (I used coconut), vanilla & cinnamon.

Mix oil, honey and vanilla with a fork. You can use vegetable or canola oil but if you are using coconut like I did then you’ll have to heat it a little bit until it melts and becomes liquid, then mix in with the honey and vanilla.

In a separate large bowl mix together all the dry ingredients (except chocolate chips) then add your honey mixture. Mix well to coat and pour all of it onto a lightly greased baking pan.

Bake that goodness for 30 minutes, tossing every 10 minutes.

Cool, mix in the chocolate chips and eat!

I love this granola sprinkled over greek yogurt and fruit – the perfect snack!
