Cranberry Walnut Grain-Free Granola
Print Recipe
Sorry, expensive store-bought granola. We’re trading you in for this grain-free version from Sarah Adler’s new cookbook, Simply Real Eating: Recipes and Rituals for a Healthy Life Made Simple.
“Homemade granola has so many uses and adds such a fun crunch to so many things,” Adler writes. “Eat it as a snack on its own, with milk of your choice, paired with whole-milk yogurt or coconut yogurt and fruit, or even sprinkled over salads in place of croutons.” Our favorite rendition involves Greek yogurt and fresh seasonal fruit, if you were wondering.
Even better, it’s beyond easy to make. You just toss everything together and bake it for less than 20 minutes. It will last for up to two weeks in an airtight container in the fridge.
You know, if you can resist eating it all at once.
