8 Granola Ideas For Breakfast

Granola is one of the easiest breakfast options out there. It’s delicious, it’s quick and it’s usually way more nutritious than a breakfast cereal loaded with sugar and not much else. There are many pre-packed granolas available in stores and online but we all know that nothing beats a homemade one. It doesn’t take long to make and you can customize it to your taste and dietary preferences. So today we’re going to share with you some awesome granola recipes you can have for breakfast, or you know, any other meal of the day.

1. Almond Joy Granola

If you like Almond Joy, you will love this idea for a homemade granola. You can infuse it with coconut flavour without it being too overpowering by using coconut flakes and coconut oil. Add raw almonds and a sweetener of choice like honey, agave syrup or the classic maple syrup, a pinch of salt to intensify the flavours, toss with oats and crisp up in the oven for 30 minutes, tossing and turning a few times to make sure it doesn’t burn . Afterwards, add as many dark chocolate chunks as you want and you’ve got your perfect Almond Joy granola.

2. Hazlenut Granola

If you’re more of a hazelnut lover than try this granola. Packed with healthy fats and proteins from the nuts and seeds it’s a great way to start your day. All you need is blanched hazelnuts that you can leave whole or chop roughly, sunflower seeds, sliced almonds, shredded coconut and some honey. Pick a neutral oil, mix with oats, bake in the oven tossing often and you’ve got yourself a delicious breakfast for a week ahead.

3. Peanut Butter Cluster Granola

Some people like their granola loose, but if you like it chunky and in bigger clusters this might be the one for you. This one is also made with peanuts and peanut butter, so if you’re a fan of peanuts this is a real double treat for you. It’s deliciously nutty and works well as a breakfast option with milk or yogurt, but it also works well as a trail mix snack. Follow a usual granola recipe but add peanut butter to form those big clusters.
