I like a light granola for a snack on its own (no milk, yogurt, etc.) and this is my favourite! It's easy to take a few bites and feel that both my sweet tooth and salt craving are satisfied. It's high in protein and easy to prepare. Hope you like!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of grains and seeds: This will give your granola a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include puffed millet, oats, quinoa, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors: You can add dried fruit, nuts, spices, or even chocolate chips to your granola. Just be sure to adjust the amount of sweetener you use accordingly.
  • Make sure your granola is crispy: The best way to do this is to bake it in a low oven for a long period of time. Stir the granola every 15 minutes or so to ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Store your granola in an airtight container: This will help to keep it fresh and crispy for up to two weeks.
