Do you prefer it with gobs of peanuts and chocolate chips, but your store brand never has enough? Dump them in. Same goes for dried fruits, sweeteners, nuts, pretzel chunks, whatever you crave. DIY granola is the ultimate have-it-your-way food.<\/p>\n<p>It also happens to be an excellent choice for when the kids head back to school. It&#8217;s great at breakfast with yogurt or applesauce, packs easily into lunches, and even can be sprinkled over ice cream for dessert (or a particularly indulgent afterschool snack).<\/p>\n<p>Our granola recipe\u00a0is a great starting point, but customize it as<br \/>\nyou see fit. Combinations to consider include:<br \/>\ncoconut-almond-chocolate; lemon zest and sunflower seeds with dried<br \/>\npineapple and mango; and pistachio-cherry-white chocolate.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_59386\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-59386\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/shutterstock_188367179.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-59386\" src=\"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/shutterstock_188367179.jpg\" alt=\"shutterstock\" width=\"1000\" height=\"674\" srcset=\"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/shutterstock_188367179.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/shutterstock_188367179-300x202.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-59386\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>CINNAMON-CITRUS GRANOLA WITH PEPITAS AND CASHEWS<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you decide to customize this\u00a0recipe, note that chocolate, peanuts, pretzels and dried fruit should be stirred in after the rest of the granola has baked and cooled.<\/p>\n<p>Start to finish: 1 1\/2 hours (15 minutes active)<br \/>\nServings: 12<\/p>\n<p>3 cups rolled oats<br \/>\n1 tablespoon cinnamon<br \/>\nZest of 2 oranges<br \/>\n2 tablespoons packed brown sugar<br \/>\n1\/4 teaspoon kosher salt<br \/>\n1 cup pepitas (shelled pumpkin seeds)<br \/>\n1 cup broken cashews<br \/>\n1\/3 cup honey<br \/>\n1\/4 cup sunflower or grapeseed oil<br \/>\n2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste<\/p>\n<p>Heat the oven to 275 F.
