POV: Don’t eat store bought granola. It’s FULL of sugar, contains bad fats and refined carbohydrates. I’ve never seen a healthy granola sold in a grocery store. If you find one, let me know. I’m interested! Even if the label says that it’s healthy, don’t trust it.
The good news is that healthy, mouth watering granola is super easy to make at home. My recipe is made with nuts, seeds and unsweetened coconut. It contains good fats from coconuts, has no refined carbohydrates and no sugar. I added pumpkin spice for flavor because ’tis the season for pumpkin spice! Substitute with cinnamon if you don’t have pumpkin spice. Substitute 1 tbsp maple syrup for monk fruit sweetener if you don’t have it. Serve granola on Greek yogurt or put it in a bowl like cereal and pour almond milk on top.
I can’t wait for you to try it!
This granola is naturally gluten free, grain free, dairy free, paleo and ketogenic friendly.
