Reviews
I used flax meal instead of almond flour. I made a parfait with orange marmalade, yogurt and granola.
So easy and so good, I make this at least once a week. Easy to adapt (I used rice flour instead of almond flour) and comes out nice n crunchy. Definitely a keeper.
add more maple its was great
Granola has been my Kryptonite. Doesn’t matter what recipe I use, it NEVER turns out. I decidee to try it ONE more time, and so far, this recipe turns out EVERY time! It is full of flavor, and a family hit!
Oh my goodness it is so good! It’s such a versatile recipe and so yummy! I eat it every day now.
Make sure to use real maple syrup and a pinch of salt goes a lot way. I used a combo of pecans and walnuts. Love that is just a little sweet and the coconut oil adds nice flavor.
This is really good granola! I added some pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, and cinnamon to it and it turned out great! It’s super easy, and it’s NOT boring,
Super easy recipe. I added 1/2 cup currents and subbed 1/2 cup each of almonds, walnuts and sunflower seed for the one cup of pecans. Also used 1/2 cup flax flour for the almond flour. Came out crunchy and delicious.
This granola is good because it is so low in sugar! I use it as a starter recipe. I add cinnamon, unsweetened coconut, chia seeds or whatever else I may have on hand. I stick to low sugar by not adding the dry fruit. This is simple healthy! My grandkids love it in their yogurt.
Sorry, this was unbelievably bland, even with the addition of dried cranberries, vanilla, and cinnamon. I’ll use a different granola recipe next time.
