Ingredients For Homemade Granola
- 3 cups (300g) rolled oats
- 1 cup (140g) whole almonds
- ½ cup (62g) dried cranberries
- 75g (½ cup) sunflower/melon seeds
- 65g (½ cup) raw pumpkin seeds
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
- ¼ cup (54g) brown sugar
- ¼ cup (60ml) water
- ¼ cup (60ml) oil (canola, vegetable, sunflower oil)
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoon (90ml) honey
Main Equipments Used
- OTG – I used Bajaj 35-litre oven. You can find it on Amazon, here: https://amzn.to/2Q0OumQ
Steps In Making Homemade Granola
- Preheat oven to 165C (320F) and butter the baking tray.
- In a large bowl mix rolled oats, almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower/melons seeds.
- In another bowl add oil, honey, water, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon powder and mix well. Combine the wet and the dry ingredients together making sure everything is moistened; else granola might burn while baking.
- Now spread it on the prepared baking tray, insert the tray in the middle rack of the oven and bake for around 35-40 minutes or until it turns golden brown, stirring every 15 minutes for even baking.
- Once baked add the dried cranberries and let it cool down completely. Please note granola will be soft when it’s out from the oven, but once it begins to cool down it will turn crispy.
- Store in an airtight container for upto 2 months.
Recipe Notes For Homemade Granola
- You can replace brown sugar white sugar.
- Use old fashioned rolled oats and not the processed one.
- Replace the dried nuts with any nuts of your choice.

Hey Ravina, I don’t use a microwave. I am using an OTG instead, which is a convection oven.
Hi! Can it be made with instant oats ?
Hi Richa. For Granola recipe, you will need rolled oats only. Instant oats are processed, so you won’t get that bite and flavour as compared to Rolled Oats.
Aarati Mam your granola recipie is a superhit from first go.My family is hooked to it like crazy.It has become our all time favourite snack.Thankyou for detailed video n recipie which makes it seem like a child’s play.
Heyy Mandeep, thank you so much for your lovely feedback. So happy to know that you all loved it. Will keep sharing more such recipes. Happy Baking! 🙂
Plz suggest which oats to b used.
Rolled oats means??
Hey Shiana, the regular Quaker oats we use at home are instant oats, they are the most processed, precooked and thinner than rolled oats, they can be cooked instantly, that’s why they are called instant oats. Whereas rolled oats are not that processed or broken down, they are larger in size and have a nice bite and texture. Will recommend you to use rolled oats for granola recipe, as instant oats wont give you that chewy nutty bite and texture. Whereas I will share a recipe of Granola bar using instant oats too. 🙂 All the best, enjoy.
Hi Aarti, if I want to make granola bars from this recipe,how is to be done.

Hi
Can i baked it on gas???
What will be the procedure???
Hi Neha,
Sorry you cant bake these on gas..
Aarti 🙂
Can we butter or ghee instead of oil
Hi Nisha,
Wouldn’t recommend that, as both ghee and butter might solidify after cooling and wont retain the perfect crunchy texture.

What brand honey that you use
Hey Preethi,
I have used a locally produced honey here. Bought it from a farmer’s market.
