Thankfully there are clean granola options that we can buy, but it’s also easy and generally less expensive to make our own. Plus, this homemade maple granola is so good!!
This a great one to bring for breakfast on vacation or when you are staying with friends and family. They may be serving foods you don’t eat and this one is extra easy to pack and bring along for yourself. I’m guessing they are going to want some too though, so I made this recipe into a larger batch. Who can resist granola?
Serve with a plant-based milk or banana milk (water & banana blended), as a yogurt berry parfait with fresh berries & good ingredient coconut yogurt, or however else your heart desires.
This also makes a great homemade gift around the holidays as well!
