    Maple Cinnamon Spiced Granola

    Maple Cinnamon Spiced Granola Recipe - PiperCooks – Easy homemade granola with cinnamon, maple syrup and maple extract. Use whichever nuts you prefer. Use your healthy granola in a cute parfait with Greek yogurt and a drizzle of maple syrup.

    Granola is such a wonderful thing to make at home, for a couple of good reasons.

    1. It's easy.  Just mix it and bake it.
    2. You can use any flavors you can think of pretty much. (Vanilla, peanut butter, chocolate, cinnamon etc)
    3. It's easy to make it healthier than store bought versions.  You can use little sweetener, and make that sweetener natural like honey and maple syrup.

    The smell of homemade granola as it's baking is also so nice.  Just watch carefully in the last few minutes so it doesn't burn.

    To make this maple cinnamon granola, just  mix together the dry ingredients and then combine with the melted butter and maple syrup.  Stir and then bake.  Bake for about 30 minutes, stirring once of twice.  I like to bake mine a little bit longer sometimes, just be very careful, like I said, to watch for burning.  Also, use whatever oats you like.  I prefer half large flake oats (in my Oatmeal Raisin Cookies too) because I like their texture.

    I like to serve mine for breakfast with Greek Yogurt and a little drizzle of maple syrup.  What's your favorite granola flavor and how do you like to serve it?

      Couldn't agree more - I am a granola freak!! Since I learned to make it in the microwave, with oven-like results, I turn out batches fast and furious :). Cinnamon makes everything special - LOVE!

      I love granola and have ran out of my home-made granola a while ago now. Just cannot bring myself to buy store bought granola anymore. Once you make your own there really is no going back is there? Your recipe looks wonderful and I've pinned it for later. I love cinnamon and I'd eat it exactly as you do with plain yoghurt and maple syrup. Delicious!

      I love granola but not a fan of cinnamon. I have to try this without cinnamon and I'm hoping I would be able to do justice to this recipe.

      Homemade granola is the best. I always have a container made in the cupboard. Great for breakfasts and adding to yogurt.

      Homemade granola is so much better than store bought. Love the flavors you've used. Maple is always a great option and cinnamon is lovely! This sounds wonderful. 🙂

      Homemade granola is so much tastier than store bought in my book. And you're right. . .it doesn't take very much effort so why not go for homemade? Loving the warm and cozy flavor of this one (one can never have enough cinnamon in my world).

      I have really been into granola and oatmeal lately... maybe because of the winter! This recipe looks delicious. I've actually never seen large flake oats before. Are they sold at most grocery stores?

        I get them at Walmart, and at mine, they are right beside the quick oats!
