If you’re looking for an easy granola recipe guaranteed to be a hit with everyone, you’re in the right place.
This is a super simple recipe with no “extras” because my kids like it plain, but you could add any extras you wanted – raisins, nuts, chocolate chips, etc. into it.
I’m not going to make you scroll through an assload of pictures of brown sugar in a measuring cup and teaspoons of cinnamon and sticks of butter melting in a pan and dry ingredients in a big ass bowl because nobody needs to see that shit and the only reason people do that is to keep you on their site for as long as possible to rake in advertising $$$.
And I get that because it takes time to put recipes out there for free and people deserve to be compensated for their time. I mean, I wanna be compensated for my time, too.
But if you Googled “Super Easy Granola” I know you don’t want to read a novel to get to it.
I do have a couple things to say after you get the recipe though, so if you have a minute, maybe you’ll keep on reading after you print out what you need to do in order to make crack-like granola that your whole family will love.

The kids love to eat the granola plain, as is.
They also love it on yogurt and smoothies. Here’s how I served it with breakfast last week:

If you don’t have a half sheet pan, you need one.
These are so good for so many things – baking, roasting veggies and all kinds of protein… I use mine ALL THE TIME.
You can grab some for yourself here:
I got the silicon sheet pan liner I use ALL THE TIME from an Epicure online party.
It’s better than the ones I already have from Amazon because it has a lip on it all the way around, and it’s super easy to clean up!
I made the granola live on Facebook last week – you can watch that here !
Enjoy!
