We have been making granola at home for years. I used to buy it from the grocery store all of the time until I realized how easy it is to make.

In the past, I have made salted chocolate granola and apple cinnamon raisin granola. I just can’t get enough!

This honey nut granola is fantastic for breakfast or a snack. I like to prepare a big bowl of granola and almond milk and then top it with some banana slices. It really is the perfect way to start your day!

As an afternoon snack, I mix the granola with some yogurt and berries for an easy parfait. I find I have so much energy afterwards.

Honey Nut Granola Recipe Ingredients

Homemade honey nut granola has just a few simple ingredients. I used almonds, walnuts, and pecans but you can substitute other types of nuts like pistachios, hazelnuts, and macadamias, for example.

  • rolled oats or Old Fashioned oats
  • honey
  • chopped almonds
  • chopped walnuts
  • chopped pecans
  • vegetable oil
  • cinnamon
  • a pinch of Kosher salt

How to Store Homemade Honey Nut Granola

Since I make granola so often, I have a ready supply of mason jars to store it in. I am also a big fan of Wick jars.

Homemade granola can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 weeks at room temperature.

This batch ended up going home with my best friend and her 4 year old daughter loved it. She kept asking if we could all go to the store to buy more of Jenny’s granola. She said she loved the honey nut granola clusters and how they crackled when she at them.

Ah, kids! I love their cuteness. Plus, if it’s kid approved you know you have a winner.
