WHAT’S INSIDE THIS RASPBERRY GRANOLA?

1. This raspberry granola recipe starts off with some gluten free old fashioned rolled oats.
2. For the mix-ins, toss in some shredded unsweetened coconut, chopped pecans, coconut sugar and a pinch of salt to round out the flavors. You can also add some chia seeds, hemp hearts and flax seeds for some extra fiber and protein.
3. For the wet ingredients – pour in some maple syrup, melted coconut oil and vanilla.
4. Mix everything up until combined and spread onto a large baking sheet and bake for about 45 minutes to an hour.

HOW DO I GET LARGE CLUSTERS WHEN MAKING GRANOLA?

• Try not to mix up the granola while it’s baking and even afterwards when you let it cool down for an hour. This helps to form those big crunchy clusters.
• Once the granola is cool enough to handle, you can break up the very large chunks.

WHAT OTHER ADD-INS CAN I USE?

This recipe calls for some freeze-dried raspberries, dark chocolate chunks and white chocolate chips.

Feel free to swap out the raspberries for blueberries, add your favorite nuts, chia seeds hemp seeds or banana chips.

You can also ditch the chocolate entirely for a more wholesome versio

A handful of this raspberry granola is a great grab and go or after school snack. We love that this isn’t too sweet and the flavor combination is just enough indulgence while still being on the healthy side.

No matter which way you choose, this raspberry granola makes a delicious snack or breakfast served up with a dollop of yogurt or a splash of milk.
