Delicious, Healthy Homemade Granola Recipe

Simple snacks for on-the-go are essential for busy lifestyles. Too often we grab the not-so-healthy option because we just don’t have time to check labels and search for healthy foods that are also quick, portable, and convenient.  That is why you will love this healthy homemade granola recipe.  I call it Farmer’s Market Granola because that is where I pick up my ingredients and it can be customized by what is available to you locally.

Easy Healthy Homemade Granola Recipe

Farmer's Mrket Granola Recipe

I happen to love granola, and when my sister called me up one day to rave about a delicious granola recipe she snagged from a chef after a stay at a Florida resort, I was excited to say the least. She claimed it was the best granola she had ever tasted, and when I made it for myself, I couldn’t agree more. While the recipe was amazing on its own, I just had to tweak it for my own personal tastes. I began selling the granola at my parents’ cafe, and the demand was so huge I set up a table at the local farmer’s market to reach as many people as I could. This homemade, crunchy granola is the perfect treat for on-the-go, for breakfast topped with delicious cashew milk, or mixed with creamy yogurt.

    I am a total granola addict and love to make it at home. Coconut and cherries are two of my favorite mix-ins, so I know I’d dive right into this.
