Homemade Granola

This is my favorite granola recipe. I have tried many. Because we are on the FODMAP diet I change the wheat germ to sesame or chia seeds and the nuts to pecans or walnuts. I double the recipe and make it every week or two!

I was very unsure of this when i pulled it out of the oven looked very dry and smelled as if the nutmeg would be too much. But the next morning my wife had it on yogurt and i ate as cereal and was very good. I will make again using different nuts and fruits in it. Would recommend it.

This was sooooo good! Of course I tweaked the recipe a bit due to availability of ingredients, I added walnuts to the oats, omitted the nutmeg (didn't have any), used sweetened, shredded coconut, and olive oil for the oil. It turned out fabulous! Perfectly golden and sweet. I didn't think it was too sweet at all with one cup of brown sugar (I used dark), the flavors were perfect. Not to mention my whole house had the enticing smell of brown sugar and vanilla wafting throughout! A big plus! I stirred the oats every 15 minutes as instructed, but I only cooked them for around 50 minutes, I think the full hour would have been a bit too much. I added dried cranberries once cooled and it is perfection! Thank you so much Jaime for the amazing recipe! I definitely will be making this again and again!
