Ingredients in granola:

What I love about granola is there isn’t a cookie cutter, one size fits all recipe. You can adjust the ingredients to your liking. I personally love making granola when I have bits of ingredients leftover from recipes and I don’t know what to do with them.

This recipe includes:

• almonds
• pumpkin seeds or pepitas
• pistachios
• sesame seeds
• craisins (dried cranberries)

How to make homemade granola:

Simply throw all the ingredients in a mixing bowl, mix well and throw on a baking sheet. Yup, I told you it was super easy; however, here are some keys to making chunky, crunchy granola:

1. Do not mix when baking. When you turn the granola when baking, you break up the chunks that we all love. Just let it bake and do it’s thing.
2. Bake low and slow. The oven temperature should be low and the cook time is longer. This allows the granola to bake to crunchy, golden-y perfection.
3. Let cool completely. When done baking, let the granola cool completely before transferring or handling. If the granola is still warm, you will break up those precious chunks!

Ways to use granola:

• Top on yogurt, oatmeal, or overnight oats
• Add to smoothie bowls
• Snack on granola by itself
• In a bowl with almond milk, or another plant-based milk
• Mix with apple slices, granola, and almond butter for a healthy sweet snack

No matter how you take your granola, it’s a healthy recipe you can feel good about.
