This low-sugar homemade nutty granola will not disappoint! Finding a store bought granola that’s low in sugar and rich in clean fats (rancid-free) is hard to come by. And making your own is really quick and easy!
This clean homemade nutty granola is nutrition packed with super power foods like chia seeds and loaded with flavour and has a nice crunch.
I like to double this recipe and bake a couple of trays in the oven at once. Once cooled, I transfer the granola into large glass mason jars and store them in the fridge. This keeps the nuts and seeds, which are loaded with good fats, fresh.
Enjoy with clean milk of your choice for breakfast topped with some fresh fruit. Also makes a nice topping to a clean yogurt of your choice or on its own as a snack.
For another awesome and very easy clean breakfast, try my Overnight Apple Bircher Muesli.
