Adapted from a few different “Magic Cookie” recipes and our own preferences.
Be imaginative with these. Replace crushed cookies and pretzels with graham crackers, Ritz or Rice Crispies. Candy can be replaced with favorite candy pieces, dried fruit or nuts. A half cup oats can replace the coconut flakes. Add a little of your favorite jam. Have fun!

There are so many different recipes for granola. This one is very versatile, so experiment to find favorite combinations. For example, use all pecans, or add pepitas in place of the almonds. Replace cherries with dried mango slices or peaches. Another option is to try adding hemp hearts or flax seed near the end of baking.
I would recommend keeping track of favorites, because it can become addictive, experimenting to find the perfect granola.
