Olive Oil Honey Granola with Coconut and Pumpkin Seeds (Stove Top)

olive oil honey granola

I believe the best granola is the one that is filled with your favorite mix-ins. So for me making my own granola is truly ideal for me since I can control what goes in it. Sure, making traditional granola from scratch is a bit time consuming but stove top granola gives you all the feels but with half the effort. This Olive Oil Honey Granola with Coconut and Pumpkin Seeds recipe comes together in less than 10 minutes and is packed with delicious vanilla and cinnamon notes. Its super easy to make and convenient for weekday breakfast or for a brunch. The best thing about this recipe is that the toppings are interchangeable to your liking and you can make a small batch enough for 3 to 4 servings. Choose your choice of fat, sweetener, mix-ins and spices and you have an easy formula for homemade granola.

For this recipe my formula is:

  • olive oil
  • honey
  • rolled oats
  • sweetened shredded coconut
  • pumpkin seeds
  • vanilla paste
  • cinnamon
  • salt

The grassy taste of olive oil gives the granola a nice complexity when paired with the honey and vanilla paste. Cinnamon gives the right amount of warmth and deliciousness that granola is known and salt to bring out the flavors. I chose sweetened coconut and pumpkin seeds because these are my favorite nut-free mix-in but the possibilities are endless.
