SIMPLE GRAIN-FREE GRANOLA RECIPE

30-minute grain-free granola packed with seeds, nuts, and coconut. it is naturally sweetened! Vegan, gluten-loose, and the precise wholesome, protein-wealthy breakfast or snack!

you could either eat it as is or together with your favorite dairy-free milk of yogurt. Or, in case you’re like me and might’t kick cereal altogether, it makes a first-rate addition to bran flakes to bulk up the protein content material. 

It’s also extraordinarily customizable. just use whatever nuts and seeds you have accessible and make it your very own. I scored a few dried wild blueberries at trader Joe’s, however I additionally suppose it'd be superb with dried cherries or cranberries.
