Homemade Cinnamon Pecan Granola is a staple in my home.  Granola is a wonderful way to bulk up your morning yogurt, to make granola parfaits and to munch on by the handful if you need a quick snack.

Homemade granola comes without the added “mystery ingredients” of the store-bought versions and it tastes 1000 times better, too.  You’ll also save a little coin, especially compared to the boutique granolas (these can run up to $10 per pound!). If you have never made granola at home prepare to be amazed at just how easy it is to make with very little prep or cook time required.

Cinnamon Pecan Granola is my “go-to” recipe.  It’s not too sweet, has a hint of orange and pairs so well with fresh fruit, yogurt and ice cream if you are so inclined.

I adapted this recipe from an unknown source (copied from a website years ago).  I am happy to give credit to the original source if the source can be determined.
