granola recipe

Granola is an absolute staple for me! I will eat granola on just about anything & hardly go a day without eating some. There is only one problem with granola… the PRICE.

My favorite store bought brand of granola is Purely Elizabeth! I am in love with all of her products, honestly. But when using granola everyday, it isn’t ideal to be spending $5, $6, or even $7 on a small bag of granola. While I sometimes treat myself to this expensive, crunchy goodness, I decided try to make my own granola for normal use!

The recipe I use for granola is simple, the way it should be for granola! Many brands load their granola with unnecessary sugar and oils, defeating the point of using granola as a healthy snack staple. I love homemade granola for the fact that I know exactly what I’m putting into it!

I hope you enjoy this easy, healthy, & yummy recipe!

¼ cup pure maple syrup

3 TBSP coconut oil (melted)

This granola recipe is so easy to make, making it favorable for a recipe that I am constantly whipping up in the kitchen!

ENJOY!!!
