Vegan Salted Double Chocolate Superfood Granola
Hello + Happy Sunday!
If there is one concept that’s super easy to whip up, it’s a homemade granola! It’s one of those concepts that so seamless that once you try it, you’ll never buy a store-bought option again! I personally love granola as it’s a great play on the traditional oatmeal, it’s filling, affordable, and a great way to mix up your breakfast routine (mine is typically avocado toast)
Oats are comprised of antioxidants and soluble fiber which enables you to maintain fullness, lower your cholesterol, and lower your blood sugars.
However, granola gets a bad reputation due to the store bought options which are laden with added sugars and preservatives. What’s great about this breakfast concept though is that it’s so quick and easy, you simply throw the ingredients together and just bake! That being said, there is no reason to reach for a store bought option. I personally love to have the control over the added sugar content and I pack on the superfoods!
