I know. It’s a baking blog. But I’m on a mission to prove that eating healthy can be fun, taste delicious, and be disguised as indulgent. For instance, this 30-minute, 10-ish ingredient granola! This recipe packs a serious punch in the way of healthy fats, omega 3s and protein from plenty of nuts and seeds. And it’s naturally sweetened with coconut sugar (a first for me!) and maple syrup. Coconut oil helps it crisp up without influencing the flavor. Because this granola doesn’t have any grains, it’s extremely nutrient rich: 6.2 grams of protein + 4.7 grams of fiber per 1/4 cup serving! You can either eat it as is or with your favorite dairy-free milk of yogurt. Or, if you’re like me and can’t kick cereal altogether, it makes a great addition to bran flakes to bulk up the protein content. This granola is my new favorite. It’s NuttyCrunchyPerfectly sweetHeartySatisfyingNutrient-richSimple& Quick It’s also extremely customizable. Just use whatever nuts and seeds you have on hand and make it your own. I scored some dried wild blueberries at Trader Joe’s, but I also think it would be amazing with dried cherries or cranberries. If you give this recipe a try, let us know!
