Healthy Fact of the Day

This homemade granola is packed with nutritious ingredients that offer various health benefits. Oats are rich in fiber, particularly beta-glucan, which can help lower cholesterol levels. The nuts and seeds provide heart-healthy fats, protein, and essential minerals, while the natural sweetness from honey offers antioxidants. By making granola at home, you can control the sugar content and avoid artificial additives often found in store-bought versions.

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, or chopped apricots)

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a large bowl, mix oats, nuts, coconut flakes, and sunflower seeds.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together honey, melted coconut oil, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.

  4. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and mix thoroughly.

  5. Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until golden brown.

  7. Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet.

  8. Once cooled, mix in the dried fruit.

  9. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
