Homemade Granola Crumble

I am on a quest to make my kid's snacks healthier.  If I can make homemade granola, then why  buy the prepackaged artificially colored, flavored and preserved version?  This recipe is supposed be to be cut into rectangles.  I found that it did not have enough "stick to it."  The "sticking" ingredient is honey.  If I used more then the 1/2 cup recommended,  then honey would over-power the taste.  I chose this recipe because it contained no butter or oils.  IF there is any left on Monday,  I am going to put some in baggies, and give them to the kids for their school snack.  This granola would taste good over ice cream, or baked apples.

2 cups oats
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup honey
** any dried fruit, nuts, seeds or mini chocolate chips (I chose a 1/2 cup raisins and a 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips)


  • Mix all ingredients and press into a greased 11 x 13 inch pan
  • The dough will be dry and crumbly, so press until dough forms with pan
  • Bake at 325 degrees.  Cook entirely for 20 minutes, or until edges are browned
  • Cool entirely.  Break into chunks
