Vanilla Butternut Granola

Sweet, satisfying, protein packed granola with no refined sugars added!

vanilla butternut granolaThis crunchy, sweet, and filling granola has almonds, cashews, hemp, chia, oats, and dried cranberries, and is flavored with cinnamon, vanilla butternut, and honey, for a sweet way to start a day, or a satisfying snack between meals.

breakfast granolaDo you guys ever just have one of those days where you desperately want to dig into a pint  quart of ice cream, doused with caramel and chocolate sauce, oh and whipped cream? Ya…me neither. Ha! Basically, we all know sugar is addicting, but also addicting-ly good. So I have been trying to find really satisfying ways to eat less sugar. And it is HARD. Really hard guys. And uh, my kids are eating too much sugar too. And I fully believe if we want our kids to do something (or not do something) we better be the example. You feel me?  I guess the point I am getting at is I know I won’t eat less sugar if I don’t find stuff I like to replace it. And this I like!!!

granolaYum! Yum! Yum! This granola I love actually. It is just the right amount of sweet, and doesn’t have added refined sugar. Plus it has fiber, antioxidants, protein, and so much more! It is basically perfect. And versatile. Take it hiking, eat it for breakfast like a cereal. Make protein bite balls and roll it in this granola. Add it to some yogurt. Make a parfait with it. Make it, and you will love it!

Don’t let the ingredient list overwhelm you because it is easy to make, you just mix it all together and bake.
If you happen to hate, or strongly dislike, any of the ingredients, just leave them out. It should still be fine. I mean…unless you want to leave out oats! Haha but really, if you don’t like coconut flakes, don’t add them!

This granola keeps pretty well too! I often make a batch and put it in an airtight container for as long as a month. So you can have all the granola deliciousness made in one day to last you the whole month!

Enjoy!

And if you like oats, try these Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal Squares

Or these Peanut Butter Banana Oat Muffins
