Easy Homemade Granola with Dried Fruit (Healthy, Oven-Baked)

Easy Homemade Granola with Dried Fruit is a healthy, oven-baked recipe that makes mornings easier. Baked in a large roasting pan, it yields a generous batch—perfect for enjoying all week. Around the holidays, I call it my Christmas Granola—and fill mason jars for friends and family. Fair warning: it’s addictive!Passed down from my mother-in-law—who always prepared this delicious granola for our holiday visits—the recipe features wholesome ingredients like wheat germ, flaxseed meal, and natural honey for sweetness. Feel free to customize the nuts and dried fruit to your liking. Sprinkle it over yogurt, milk, or fruit for quick, no-fuss breakfasts throughout the week.It’s also become one of my favorite recipes to share during the holidays, when I use extra dried cherries and red berries for a festive touch. Friends say it’s a welcome change from cookies and candy. Spoon it into a pretty jar, tie on a ribbon, and you have an easy, heartfelt homemade gift.
