GRANOLA

This is my most FAVORITE thing to make on my website. You’ll be hard pressed to find a granola at the store that doesn’t have a lot of unnecessary added sugars. While granola isn’t always the healthiest option, making it yourself can be a much healthier alternative (and cheaper!) than buying it at the store. When you make it yourself you control both the quantity and the quality of the ingredients going in! Below are 3 recipes that I’ve tried and LOVE!

BASE: 4 cups old fashioned rolled oats, ¼ cup honey, ⅓ cup coconut oil

FLAVORS:

• Pumpkin Spice (cinnamon, pumpkin seasoning, allspice, pumpkin seeds, unsweetened shredded coconut, pink salt)
• Vanilla Cinnamon (cinnamon, vanilla extract, almond, pumpkin seeds, unsweetened shredded coconut, pink salt)
• Chocolate Pecan (cocoa powder, vanilla extract, almonds, unsweetened shredded coconut, pecans, pink salt, semi sweet choco chips (after it cools))

*TIP: If you want your granola to be clumpy, mix in 2-3 egg whites with your extras before baking!

I found that I have to make it in smaller batches because I have almost zero portion control because it’s THAT good. Halving or quartering the recipe works just as well!
