Granola is one of the classic breakfast cereals. The nice thing about making your own is that it will have a lot less sugar in it than the store bought brands. A blend of oats and nuts with a hint of sweetness and vanilla make this the perfect quick breakfast. Not only that you’ll have enough for 15 more breakfasts too.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups rolled oats

  • 1 1/2 cups nuts and/or seeds (typically walnuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds)

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil

  • 1/3 cup maple syrup

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • Optional: 1/3 cup chocolate chips (check to make sure there’s no milk)

  • Vegan Rice Krispies (optional)

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone sheet.
  • In a large bowl, combine the oats, nuts/seeds, rice krispies if using salt and cinnamon.
  • Pour in the oil, maple syrup and vanilla. Mix until every oat and nut is lightly coated. Pour mix onto your prepared baking sheet and spread it in an even layer.
  • Bake until golden, about 22 minutes, (watch carefully as it burns quickly). stirring halfway . The granola will get crunchier as it cools.
  • Let cool for at least 45 minutes to an hour. Add the optional chocolate chips.

Notes

  • This granola is great on vegan yogurt with blueberries. Store the granola in mason jars (it will stay fresh for a couple of weeks) or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
