Cranberry Almond Granola

Create Your Own Customizable Homemade Granola Recipe

Do you love granola? Great, me too! Yogurt with berries and granola, or granola with your favorite milk/nut milk is a nutritious breakfast or a great snack. Not only is it filling and good for you, but homemade granola is also made with pantry staples and makes a great gift.

The Versatility of Homemade Granola

The recipe is simple and tasty. It is crunchy and slightly sweet, but the best part is that it is totally customizable. You can use this recipe as a base and add your own mix-ins, or even eliminate some of the ingredients for a simple cereal.

The whole grain oats (gluten-free if you prefer) are a great whole grain source of soluble fiber, and the almonds provide monounsaturated fat, fiber and some protein. Maple syrup is an ideal natural sweetener, and the cinnamon adds a nice warmth. Also, don’t skip the salt! A little bit goes a long way, and it helps to bring out the sweetness from the maple syrup.

Customization Options for Your Granola

Layering this granola with fresh fruit and yogurt makes a delicious parfait. You can also serve with your milk of choice or just eat it by the handful! I hope you enjoy it!
