This is a vegan granola recipe with added protein from hemp powder and flax seeds. It's a basic recipe with lots of room for alterations and additions- you can add different chopped nuts, dried fruits, and other seasonings like ground clove or ginger. I usually add more hemp powder, as I hardly notice the flavor.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of oats. Old-fashioned oats, quick oats, and steel-cut oats can all be used in granola. Each type of oat has a different texture and flavor, so experiment to find your favorite combination.
  • Add nuts and seeds. Nuts and seeds are a great way to add crunch, flavor, and healthy fats to granola. Some popular choices include almonds, walnuts, pecans, chia seeds, and flax seeds.

  • Choose healthy sweeteners. If you want to add a little sweetness to your granola, use natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or coconut sugar.
