Why have I never tried this before? After making my Dark Chocolate Quinoa Breakfast Bowl, I had extra quinoa to play with so I figured another breakfast recipe was in order – my favorite. I’d remembered seeing that it’s possible to add quinoa (raw) to granola! How cool is that? The result is a crispy, crunchy, nutrient-packed granola that’s simple, healthy, and delicious. This recipe is simple, requiring just 30 minutes and 7 ingredients you likely already have in your pantry right now. Plus, it’s naturally sweetened with coconut sugar and maple syrup, and it’s (vegan) butter-free, thanks to coconut oil. This may be a big statement, but I think this may be my favorite granola yet! And that’s saying a lot considering how many granola recipes I’ve made for Minimalist Baker. Although the sweet potato and peanut butter come in a close second and third… I hope you guys love this granola. It’s: CrispyCrunchyNuttyNutritiousHeartySimple& Satisfying This would make the perfect granola to have on hand for quick weekday breakfasts and snacks. The quinoa provides extra staying power, with one 1/2-cup serving containing 9 grams protein!
