Especially when prepared with Ufresh’s natural dried fruits and nuts, homemade granola becomes a nutritious and delicious choice. Here’s a simple and preservative-free dried fruit granola recipe you can easily make at home and keep fresh for weeks!

What Is Granola?

Granola is a crispy breakfast mix made from oats, dried fruits, nuts, and natural sweeteners, typically baked until golden brown. It can be enjoyed with milk, yogurt, or smoothie bowls. Thanks to its high fiber content and natural energy boost, granola helps you start your day with vitality and balance.

Ingredients

Here’s what you need to make your own simple and healthy granola at home:

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup Ufresh mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts)
  • ½ cup Ufresh mixed dried fruits (raisins, apricots, figs, cranberries, etc.)
  • 3 tablespoons honey or molasses
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • A pinch of salt

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F).
  2. In a large bowl, mix oats, nuts, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a small saucepan, gently heat the honey and coconut oil, then pour over the oat mixture.
  4. Stir well to combine, then spread evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Bake for 20–25 minutes until lightly golden, stirring once halfway through.
  6. Remove from the oven, let it cool, then add Ufresh dried fruits.
  7. Store in an airtight jar — it will stay fresh for up to 2–3 weeks.
