Serves: 2 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup rolled oats
  2. 1/2 cup nuts (almonds or walnuts)
  3. 1/4 cup seeds (pumpkin or sunflower)
  4. 1/4 cup dried fruit (cranberries or raisins)
  5. 1/4 cup maple syrup
  6. 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients and ensure they are fresh and of high quality. Use a large mixing bowl that provides ample space for combining ingredients.
  2. Measure out 1 cup of rolled oats and pour them into the mixing bowl. Choose organic, gluten-free rolled oats if possible for best nutritional profile.
  3. Add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts) to the oats. If using whole nuts, roughly chop them into smaller, bite-sized pieces to enhance texture and distribution.
  4. Incorporate 1/4 cup of seeds such as pumpkin or sunflower seeds into the mixture. Lightly toast seeds beforehand for enhanced flavor if desired.
  5. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of dried fruit like cranberries or raisins over the dry ingredients. Ensure fruit pieces are evenly distributed.
  6. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup maple syrup and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
  7. Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients, using a spatula or wooden spoon to thoroughly coat all components.
  8. Mix gently but thoroughly, ensuring each ingredient is evenly coated with the maple syrup and vanilla mixture.
  9. Transfer the granola to an airtight container or serving bowl. For best texture, consume immediately or refrigerate for up to 5 days.

Tips

  1. Quality Matters: Always use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Organic oats and raw nuts will elevate the flavor and nutritional profile of your granola.
  2. Customize Your Mix: Feel free to experiment with different nuts, seeds, and dried fruits. Swap almonds for cashews, or try goji berries instead of cranberries to keep things interesting.
  3. Texture is Key: Roughly chop your nuts to ensure even distribution and a perfect crunch in every bite.
  4. Storage Secrets: Store your granola in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and prevent clumping.
  5. Meal Prep Hack: Double the recipe and have a quick breakfast ready for the entire week. It keeps well for up to 5 days when properly stored.
  6. Serving Suggestions: Enjoy your granola with plant-based milk, sprinkle it over smoothie bowls, or eat it as a crunchy snack on its own.Pro Tip: If you want an extra flavor boost, lightly toast your seeds before adding them to the mix – it'll bring out a deeper, nuttier flavor that takes this granola to the next level!
