i don’t think there’s a wrong way to make granola. you can throw anything in; oats, nuts, seeds, dried fruit, and grains. add some chocolate too. the options are endless. this multi-grain granola is packed with nutrition and loads of crunch.
making granola at home is so easy, i should do it more. store bought granola is too sweet and typically loaded with fat and calories. by making it at home i control what goes in and what doesn’t.
stella is sticking to her vegan diet, so now more than ever i want to make sure she’s getting all the nutrients her body needs. by adding millet and amaranth, this granola is packed with protein and i love the crunchy texture. i kept it simple with almonds and pumpkin seeds, but coconut and dried fruit would be delicious too.

we LOVE granola clumps. to get more granola clusters, do not stir the granola while it bakes. i like to let is sit for a few minutes after baking, and then gently stir to keep the clusters in tact.
i skipped the fruit, but adding dried apples to this multi-grain granola would be delicious too. enjoy!
