Hey there Munchies!
Welcome if you’re new, I’m Alyssia.
Today I’ve got some simple and tasty recipes to share with you:
homemade GRANOLAS.
Whether granola is a part of your healthy breakfast,
or you just love having a crunchy snack around,
these healthy granola recipes are so tasty and SO easy to make.
I’ve got 3 different granola recipes for different tastes and lifestyles—
a traditional sweet granola, a savory granola, and even a low carb granola!
First I’m sharing a traditional homemade granola
where you’re in control of that added sugar.
I combine rolled oats, pecans, almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds,
golden raisins, cranberries, maple syrup or honey, coconut oil, vanilla extract,
cinnamon and a pinch of salt.
Mix it up,
and then transfer to a pan lined with parchment.
Bake in the oven.
You can stir it halfway through,
but if you like larger pieces in your granola, just let it be.
Allow to cool completely before breaking it up and enjoying!
I love serving this one with yogurt that’s slightly sweetened with maple syrup
and cinnamon!
It’s also great as a snack as is.
If you want more info on this cool storing hack with the mason jar and applesauce container,
check out my crazy yogurts episode!
I’ll link it below.
This granola is crunchy, sweet and so satisfying as a breakfast or snack!
This is just one of the healthy breakfast recipes in my new Vegetarian Meal Prep eBook,
which is full of meal-preppable recipes for lunch, dinner, and snacks, too!
For all of these recipes, you can really use any nuts and seeds you prefer.
They all have different health benefits AND will keep your granola interesting!
So feel free to get creative and switch up the ingredients in your own homemade granola.

Next up I’ve got a SAVORY granola—and it’s oil free!
I whisk together yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, tahini, maple syrup,
sriracha, garlic powder, onion powder, fresh thyme, dried oregano,
cinnamon and salt and pep.
Then I add in the dry ingredients—oats, cooked quinoa, chopped almonds,
chopped cashews, sesame seeds and pumpkin seeds.
Toss to coat,
and transfer to a pan lined with parchment.
Bake in the oven, and I do recommend stirring this one to keep it from burning.
Again, cool completely before breaking it up.
This one is great as a snack, but it’s also fun to make a savory parfait with Greek yogurt!
You can’t beat salty-sweet snacks!
Can I get a thumbs up?
The last one I’ve got for you is actually a LOW carb granola, which is pretty cool!
If you’re curious about how a low carb lifestyle works,
I do have a Keto 101 video that breaks down the basics of low carb and ketogenic diets.
I mix together walnuts, pecans, macadamia nuts, sliced almonds, pumpkin seeds,
sunflower seeds, coconut shreds, ground flax, unsweetened cranberries,
erythritol or sweetener of choice, fiber syrup—
which is optional but I like it for caramelization—
coconut oil, cinnamon and salt.
Transfer to a pan lined with parchment and bake.
Break it up once it’s cooled and enjoy!
SO delicious! If you’re on a low carb lifestyle and missing cereal,
breaking this granola up and enjoying with some almond milk could do the trick!
