You guys it doesn’t get much easier than this.
This recipe is so ridiculously simple that I actually feel a bit silly making a whole entire blog post about it, but SO many of you have asked me for my go-to granola recipe that I just had to share! I love using this granola to top my smoothie bowls and overnight oats, but it also stores really well too so I’ll keep it in a sealed container to have on hand in my pantry anytime I need some! This granola can last up to two weeks, but I highly doubt it will even last you that long 😉
This recipe requires only three simple ingredients and chances are they are most likely items you already have sitting in your pantry. I also like to add a little cinnamon and vanilla extract as well just to sweeten things up, but this basic recipe is just rolled oats + coconut oil + maple syrup. Boom DONE. I’ll also throw in some nuts, seeds or cranberries every now and then just to switch things up, but feel free to make this recipe all your own and to your liking. I promise you literally couldn’t mess this up if you tried! Just make sure to stir the granola halfway through while it’s baking so that it cooks nice and evenly.
That’s it! This granola is PERFECT for all the fall recipes coming up and feel free to even throw a little pumpkin pie spice into the mix! Enjoy!

Just made this for the first time. I’ve been making granola for years, but now this will be my new go to granola recipe. I love it! Sometimes you just want simple granola without all the add ins. I did take your suggestion of adding a tsp of vanilla and the cinnamon. I also added about 1/4 tsp salt because I am salt fiend:)
I love the simplicity of this granola. The proportion of oats and sweetener is perfect. The only thing I did differently was add some sliced almonds. This is my go to recipe!
Sounds so yummy and easy ! I will definitely try this today or tomorrow. Will be tasty with berries and yogurt 😋
Thank you for sharing
Really good! I added a splash of vanilla and a bunch of fresh grated orang peel. Also added cashews and dried blueberries. Smells and tastes great!
It worked great! I first halved the recipe because I wasn’t sure but it is amazing! So easy and good in a smoothie bowl!
Why to add oil ??
Hey I made this recipe and was just wondering if I can store it in the fridge and how long would it last it there??
Should last up to two weeks in the fridge! 🙂
I made this and loved it. Finally, a healthy granola that I control the sugar and fat. This allowed me to add whatever dried or fresh fruit and nuts when I am ready to eat it.
Thank you!
