Homemade vegan granola
As a vegan it’s unnecessarily difficult to find a good vegan granola. Most store bought granola contain honey or even milk! That’s why I decided to make my own homemade vegan granola. Not only could I control that it’s vegan, but I could control what goes in it as well. The amount of sugar and the different seeds and nuts. You can also control the flavour of your granola. I choose to add vanilla and cinnamon because I like those two together. It gives of this amazing smell while it’s baking in the oven!
Saturated
I like to eat this granola with a plant based yoghurt and warmed up fruit for breakfast. It makes sure I am full well until lunch. It gives me enough energy to start my day and it makes sure I’m the good kind of full until my next meal. This will make sure you don’t snack on empty calories between breakfast and lunch. You could even snack on a handful of the granola if you’re getting hungry. But I promise you that you won’t feel hungry after eating a bowl of this!
Meal prepping
This homemade granola is easy to prepare on a Sunday and it will last you well througout the rest of the week if you store it correctly in an airtight container or a glass jar. You can store it in several smaller containers for you to take to school or work. It doesn’t take a long time to make this recipe, since most of the time it’s in the oven and your house will smell amazing. If you have kids, ask them what flavours, seeds and nuts they want to add to their granola and let them help you prepare their own granola! I’m sure they will love it!
