Homemade granola is healthier for you than store bought. Make a batch so you can have it on hand for breakfast, snacks, pre or post work-outs.

- 1/3 cup of oil (coconut or olive oil)
- ½ cup natural sweetener (honey or maple syrup are the best)

- 1 cup mixed nuts, slightly chopped (walnuts, cashews, almonds, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts)
- 1 cup mixed seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, sesame)
- 1 cup flaked unsweetened coconut

- Arrange a parchment paper sheet and place it on your pan; pour the granola onto it using a large spoon to spread it into an even layer. Bake until golden in an oven preheated to 400 F for about 20 minutes.
