{Super Simple Oatmeal Raisin Granola}

I think everyone needs a good granola recipe. This is my go-to granola recipe. It is simple and I always have all of the ingredients on hand.

I love to eat this as my morning breakfast cereal topped with organic milk and chopped bananas. It is also delicious all by itself, as a topping for yogurt or sprinkled on top of your morning oatmeal for a little added crunch!

Super Simple Oatmeal Raisin Granola 

• 2 cups old fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• 1/2 cup flax seed meal
• 1 tbsp. cinnamon
• 1/2 cup unsweetened raisins
• 3/4 cup chunky peanut butter
• 1/2 cup honey

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

Add oats, coconut, flax, cinnamon and raisins to a large bowl. Stir and set aside. In a small bowl, combine peanut butter and honey. Microwave for 45 seconds or so just to soften. Stir well and pour over oat mixture. Stir until combined.

Add granola to sheet pan that is lined with parchment or sprayed with non-stick spray. Press with a spatula (or your hands) so that some of the pieces will stick together. **I like chunky granola 

Place in oven. Cook for 20-30 minutes stirring every 10 minutes until the granola is slightly golden.

Remove and allow to cool. Store in airtight container.

Have a great week!! 

{Chia Raisin Granola Cereal}

Where are my cold cereal eaters out there??? I used to eat cold cereal for breakfast every day! The only problem is that 95% of cold cereals at your grocery store are VERY processed and loaded with sugar. Your best bet is to make your own! This recipe is not only delicious with some cold milk poured on top but it is AWESOME as a topping for Greek yogurt or even just eaten plain!! My kids snacked on this right out of the jar!!

Kid tested and approved!! :)

• 1/3 cup coconut oil (melted)
• 1/3 cup honey
