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!

Hello There!
Hi! I’m Heather, Mom of 3, professional snack opener, the only person who knows where everything is in my house and part-time magician (I can turn a bunch of candy into a gift basket and everyone thinks it’s amazing). I share a mix of parenting moments, easy recipes, crafts, and DIY home decor projects.
Around here, we love turning ordinary stuff into extraordinary gifts, from candy box baskets and birthday punch boards to homemade advent calendars and other crafty chaos that somehow always works out.
Welcome to The Super Mom Life — where the projects are fun, the coffee is strong, and the laughter is pretty much required for survival. Don't forget to follow us on social media!
It does not really fit in my taste, I admit it, but I think it could still be a healthy idea for breakfast or snack!
This sounds like just a wonderful granola recipe, and a great breakfast recipe to have on hand! Delicious!
I love granola but don’t buy it often because store-bought granola contains a lot of sugar. This recipe looks amazing and healthy!
Granola 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.
I’m always looking for healthier options too. This is the perfect healthy snack.
Been 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.
I 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.
