I am posting this recipe for big batch nut seed granola intentionally on a Friday because I want you to make this granola over the weekend. This is such a huge batch of granola, not only will it last you all week, but you might just get an extra week out of the batch.
I’ve always loved granola but hate buying it in the store because 1). It’s expensive and 2). The bags you get are so small you only get a few days out of a $6.00 bag. Why spend the money for such a small amount when you can just make it yourself? This big batch nut seed granola recipe is such a favorite of mine, I am sure it will become a favorite of yours.
My big batch nut seed granola recipe includes: oats, mixed nuts, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut and added extras like coconut oil, cinnamon and wheat germ.
The biggest thing to keep in mind when making this big batch nut seed granola recipe is to have plenty of raised cookie sheets for baking, plenty of time to let it cool and dry and a large storage container to keep your granola fresh. I like to store mine in a big glass jar with a plastic-sealed lid because I like the way it looks in my pantry, plus, storing it in a glass jar makes it easy for me to spot in my pantry and inevitably leads me to make a healthier choice in the mornings.
I like to serve the granola in between layers of greek vanilla yogurt as a parfait or sprinkled on top of fresh fruit for a nutrient-packed start to my mornings.
