Homemade Granola Recipe
I like mine in a bowl with milk but one of my sons eats his dry with a glass of milk on the side. Mix it into yogurt or sprinkle it on ice cream. It's a good healthful snack to send in the lunch box to school or work.

- Hi Michigan Mom! I use coconut oil sometimes too. It depends on what I have on hand. Step #7 above says to let it cool and stir in the fruit. I think it's about time to make some more granola!

- I usually make my /www.amichiganmom.com/2009/09/homemade-granola.html">homemade granola with coconut oil. I like that your recipe has Olive Oil. I will have to try that. Although you don't mention it in your recipe, I assume you add the dried fruit once the mixture has finished cooking and is cool. Thanks for sharing your recipe with us!
