Easy Vegan Granola Recipe
We are constantly looking for yummy, good-for-you snacks. Our family recently discovered that we all really love granola! I mean, what’s not to love? Oats, nuts, dried fruits, maple syrup, all baked until it’s toasted and golden brown. Drooling yet? While store-bought granola is good, there is nothing quite like homemade granola. I’m excited to share this vegan granola recipe that is not only delicious, but so easy to make!
A Versatile Snack
Granola makes a great breakfast or snack and is great on yogurt, smoothie bowls, with fruit, on ice cream, with almond milk or even on its own! Since we made our first batch this week, we have been trying it in every way we can think of. It’s interesting to see how we all eat it differently. My 12-year-old prefers to eat it straight out of a bowl, on its own. My 8-year-old eats it like cereal with some almond milk. My 5-year-old eats it with strawberries, for breakfast. My husband loves it on top of dairy free yogurt with berries. I personally love it on smoothie bowls (which by the way is the next recipe I will be sharing this week, so stay tuned!) I love that we can make a big batch and enjoy it in so many different ways!
You can add raisins or other dried fruits, brown sugar, different types of nuts (almonds or walnuts maybe)… the possibilities are endless. We’ve even thrown some in a little container to take with us. It’s a great on the go snack! The best part is, it only takes 5 minutes to prep with my easy-read measuring cup set, small mix ‘n scraper, stainless steel whisk and my other awesome new Pampered Chef kitchen tools!

February 2, 2019Homemade granolas are the best because you can put anything that you want in it. I love it with pecans, walnuts, and cranberries.
Pam
February 2, 2019Homemade granola is so much better than storebought. Most of it has honey in it, though, so it’s nice to see a vegan recipe!

February 2, 2019Awesome recipe! I love eating oats and granola. I tried one time to make my own granola and I had to eat it myself because nobody liked it. This recipe sounds delicious. I will try it soon.

Genny Gall (whatsupdearie)
February 1, 2019This is a great recipe. However, I have never try to make them. We always buy our granola cereal, and we love to eat it with berries and yogurt as well as your husband. This is our preferences, and we love that way. Nevertheless, there are always different ideas to try something new.
Heather
February 1, 2019This is making my mouth water! I need to try this. Glad I saw it before heading to the supermarket!

cait
February 1, 2019i just started making overnight oats again and realized that this version would be an interesting idea to try! im a huge granola fan but never thought to try and make it vegan for a few friends of mine who are! cant wait to try it!
Heather Castillo
February 1, 2019I still haven’t tried to make overnight oats, but I would love to!
Alli Smith
February 1, 2019Pecans are my favorite nuts so I have to try your vegan granola recipe. It looks so scrumptious! I love a good granola recipe and this one looks amazing.
candy
February 1, 2019Making granola is simple and I don’t understand why more people don’t make their own. I must like this granola because I see I commented a year ago. We do love our granola.
Joan
February 1, 2019Nothing better than a granola breakfast always, simple fast and scrumptious at the same time and this looks great.
Cristina Petrini
February 1, 2019It does not really fit in my taste, I admit it, but I think it could still be a healthy idea for breakfast or snack!
Alexandra
February 1, 2019This sounds like just a wonderful granola recipe, and a great breakfast recipe to have on hand! Delicious!

February 7, 2018I love granola but don’t buy it often because store-bought granola contains a lot of sugar. This recipe looks amazing and healthy!
Sandy N Vyjay
February 7, 2018Granola is a healthy option. We eat lots of granola bars especially when travelling. This is a good homemade recipe that hopefully, we should be able to make.
Nikka Shae
February 6, 2018I’m always looking for healthier options too. This is the perfect healthy snack.
ANOSA
February 6, 2018Been making some of this before and this is a great reminder for me to reconsider making granola snacks again. We’ll see if this will be my very first recipe to try after a long time.
Heather
February 6, 2018I love granola and my kids love granola. I love the idea of making it at home and in a healthier way with less sugar in it.
Ching
February 5, 2018what a concidence! I was just asking my friend where I could buy just granola because I wanted to have it over plain greek yogurt. I never thought of making it myself! love it.
Pam
February 5, 2018My granddaughter is allergic to milk, so I am always on the lookout for good vegan recipes to try. This granola sounds like a great breakfast.
Sarah Bailey
February 5, 2018I have to admit I do love granola – it is such a good way to start the morning, but I have never thought about putting my own together. I am definitely going to have to give this a try!
valmg @ Mom Knows It All
February 5, 2018This would be perfect for my brother. He loves granola and almost always has some with him in the car, at work and at home.
Emily
February 5, 2018This seems like a great granola recipe! My kids like to put granola on their yogurt and it is also a quick and simple snack to grab. I like that it it healthy but still fills them up !
Joanna @ Everyday Made Fresh
February 5, 2018I love making homemade granola. It’s one of those snacks that are always better when made at home.
Candy
February 5, 2018Making granola is something I have been done nag for over 36 years. Always nice to see similar recipes.
Angelic Sinova
February 5, 2018My friend is always saying that there’s nothing like homemade granola (hers really is the best) but I’ve yet to make some for myself yet. Maybe I’ll finally try it out this weekend!
Terri Steffes
February 5, 2018I think this sounds so good. I love granola. Are other granolas made with animal products? I can’t wait to give this a try.
The Super Mom Life
February 5, 2018A lot of them are made with honey, which isn’t vegan.
Farida
February 5, 2018This is something I am willing to try because buying granola in the grocery is a bit expensive. Similarly, adding fiber to one’s food will definitely make us healthier beings!
Alison Rost
February 5, 2018It’s a must try especially since it’s granola and you can basically put it on everything, smoothie bowls, overnight oats, or as a snack on its own. I love how easy it is to put together!
Jeanette
February 5, 2018I love granola anyway you can give it to me. This looks absolutely amazing and I will definitely try it.

February 5, 2018I’ve always enjoyed granola, but I rarely have it. I really should! This seems easy enough for me to try!
Robin Rue
February 5, 2018I eat granola almost every morning. It goes so good in my yogurt. I can’t wait to try yours.
