👨🏻‍🍳 Tips

Eat this alone as a snack, or serve it with some unsweetened plant-based yogurt. You can even make it a dessert by pairing it with our delicious apple-pumpkin compote. It is very autumn-friendly and delicious!

🍜 Variations

Nut variation:
You can go crazy with your favourite nuts in this granola; pecan, walnuts and macadamia can easily be used if you want. It's also great with extra seeds added, such as pumpkin, flax, chia, and sunflower.

Keep it sugar-free:
You can also add more dates for extra sweetness, or any other dried fruits such as figs, cranberries, raisins, coconut, etc.

If you want a chunkier granola you can add nut butters to make the granola stick together. Peanut butter work great and taste awesome with this recipe!

Spice variation:
In some of our experiments with granola, we've added 1 tsp of nutmeg (ground) to give it a cosy and winter-like smell and aromatic flavour.

You can also give it a CHOCOLATE twist by adding cocoa powder (1 tbsp) or finely chopped dark chocolate that will melt and give the granola a beautiful and dark brown "glue".

🥫 Storage

Store in an airtight glass-container and in a cool, dry spot for 2 to 3 weeks. The granola can also go in the freezer, just wrap tightly in resealable freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
