Homemade Granola is the Best Granola
This easy homemade granola is crunchy, chewy, naturally sweet, and wildly addictive. Made with wholesome rolled oats, chia seeds, sunflower kernels, pecans, raisins, and dried cherries — all held together with rich maple syrup and brown sugar, then slow-baked at 300°F for 45 golden minutes. Eat it on yogurt, scoop it over ice cream, or just grab a handful straight from the jar. No judgment here.

- In a large bowl combine oats, dried cherries, sunflower kernels, raisins, pecans and chia seeds.
- In a small bowl, combine maple syrup, brown sugar, oil and salt. Whisk well to combine.
- Pour the maple syrup mixture over the oat mixture. Use a silicone spatula to mix well. Pour the mixture over the lined baking sheet and spread it out evenly. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring halfway through the baking process.
