Granola has always sounded like health food to me! That is where that whole expression about individuals who are living a healthy, wholesome lifestyle are “granola crunchy” came from, right? Unfortunately, most of the prepared ones in the grocery store that claim to be “healthy”, “gluten-free” and “wholesome” are packed with added and completely unnecessary sugars so; which of course, prompted me to start making my own! This recipe is not only all of the above that the premade ones claim to be, but it is vegan and can easily be made keto or paleo which makes it a win for everyone!
This granola is sweet, crunchy, gluten-free, super nutty and seeded and can easily be made keto or paleo which makes it a perfect breakfast or snack for everyone!
