Are you still buying granola in a box?

If so, it’s time to consider making the switch to the homemade variety. It’s (sooo!) easy to make, customizable, and best of all, cheap.

This particular granola has a unique orange flavor, made possible by orange marmalade.

If you’re feeling experimental, you could certainly try adding blood orange marmalade, grapefruit marmalade, or another flavor. You can even use jelly/jam instead of marmalade, giving you even more options.

My Formula For Making Granola

I personally like granola that sticks together. It’s easier to snack on that way.  I’ve included instructions for clumpy and non-clumpy granola for your convenience:

• For granola that forms into clumps: Use 1/3 cup liquid (coconut oil, honey, marmalade, jelly, etc.) per 1 cup of oats. This version is slightly higher in fat and calories than the one listed below.
• For granola that is more granular/doesn’t stick together: Use 1/4 cup liquid (coconut oil, honey, marmalade, jelly, etc.) per 1 cup of oats. This version is lower in fat and calories.
