Ingredients
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (such as Bob’s Red Mill® Gluten-Free Oats)
- ½ cup unsweetened coconut flakes (Optional)
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (Optional)
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon (Optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Spread oats and coconut flakes onto a rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes; stir oats and coconut and rotate baking sheet. Continue baking until oats and coconut are toasted, about 8 more minutes.
- Whisk honey, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and cinnamon together in a bowl until smooth. Add oat mixture to honey mixture and stir until evenly coated.
- Line the baking sheet with a silicone liner or parchment paper. Spread oat mixture evenly onto baking sheet.
- Bake in the oven until granola is toasted, 8 to 15 minutes. Stir granola and transfer liner and granola to a wire rack to cool completely.
- If you like your granola sweeter, you can add an additional 1/4 cup honey.
- If using coconut, reduce amount of oats by 1/2 cup.

Easy, simple, healthy and amazing.
mix all ingredients together over medium heat before spreading on cookie sheet.
Great recipe as is. Low fat, tasty and really simple. I’ve made this 3 times now and great results every time. Also a great base recipe to adjust to your personal taste.
Love this granola, I added some chopped nuts in place of the coconut that I didn’t have. Simple, basic, healthier than most and tastes great. Thanks for the recipe!
I don’t think I’ll ever have to buy granola again. This is a fantastic base recipe! I ran out of honey, so I used half honey/half maple syrup, no coconut flakes (didn’t have any), & skipped the roasting portion (per another reviewer’s feedback). It was quick and easy to make before work, but I doubt there will be any left since my husband will be home with it all day. Simple and delicious!
I like this recipe because it isn’t too sweet. Most granola is absurdly sweet. I use vegetable oil instead of coconut and try different nuts and spices. I’ve used pomegranate molasses instead of honey which has a nice tang to it. Also I don’t use parchment paper. I just mix up the oil and sweetener separately, pour it over the oats in the pan, and stir thoroughly. Easier and works fine. Once it’s cool you just break up any lumps and store.
Make a double portion. Delicious!
A decent recipe, and fairly simple. Always nice to have a gluten-free option.
Easy to make and turned out to be very crispy and tasty!
Love this recipe I added the cinnamon, peanuts, walnuts & almonds to make it more protein based
Delicious! And so easy to make. I made it with all the optional ingredients, plus a decent amount of chopped almonds & a bit of extra honey & coconut oil. LOVE the combo of flavors!
Just a heads up… On step 5 I think “waxed paper” should be “parchment paper” (waxed paper in the oven is a no-go). Thanks for the recipe
I like basic granola. This was great!
Easy to make. Left out the cinnamon and added a bit more honey, some cashews and slivered almonds.
Super easy to make. Easy to alter. I added raisins after it was baked. Delicious.
Loved this granola, I added a couple teaspoons hulled hemp seeds and flax seeds before toasting oats and coconut, and a 1/2 cup dried reduced sugar craisens before baking. Its great eaten out of hand or as a cereal with milk. Gluten free goodness.
Made the recipe as stated. Pretty simple to make. I like my granola a bit sweeter, so I would add a touch more honey.
Excellent recipe without refined sugar!!!! I added almonds and less cinnamon. I like it sweeter so I use the extra honey…and sometimes a little more than that.
Delicious! I made 3 batches and it made my house smell yummy. Kids gobbled some up right away too! I did forget to pre-toast the oats and coconut so just baked for 8 minutes and then stirred and baked another 8 minutes. Perfect!
This recipe is great! It’s simple, doesn’t require a lot of ingredients, and best of all it’s quick! My brother loves this and he’s not one to throw out compliments. I’m going to double or triple this recipe next next time since the original recipe was obviously not designed for a hungry family of 5.
