Recipe | Vegan Granola


A lot of granola recipes aren't vegan-friendly because honey is used as the sweetener/binder. This recipe is 100% vegan because agave is used in place of honey. Maple syrup is another good substitute if you don't have agave on hand

2 cups old fashioned oats (rolled oats)
1 cup steelcut oats
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup chopped pistachios
1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup raisins
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1 tbsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 cup agave
1 tbsp coconut sugar OR brown sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup canola oil
a pinch of salt

Preheat your oven to 325° F.

Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl. Make sure you mix everything well so all the oats, nuts, seeds, and dried fruit are coated with the agave, canola oil, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and salt.

Line a baking sheet with tin foil or parchment paper. Spread the mixture onto the baking sheet and bake at 325 for 15 minutes, or until the granola starts to brown.

Let the granola cool off before transferring to an airtight container.

Enoy! :)
