This Homemade Maple Granola Recipe is a healthy breakfast option that is easy to make! The maple syrup and cinnamon give it a great flavor! Make a big batch and have it throughout the week. You could eat it plain or add your favorite milk or dairy free milk!

It can be very hard to find a cereal or a granola at a store that does not have cane sugar in it. And if you happen to find one, it is usually pretty expensive. That is why I decided to make my own! This granola is sweetened with maple syrup, and my kids approve! It doesn’t take much time to put together, and then you have a healthy option for breakfast or a snack.

The granola I made is also gluten free but be aware that oats that are not labeled gluten free can contain some flour. Some companies mix the oats with flour so the oats don’t stick together. So if you would like to make it gluten free make sure to get oats that are clearly labeled GF.

In my recipe I use walnuts, pecans and chia seeds. If you do not want to use the chia seeds you can leave them out. You could also use almonds instead of the walnuts or pecans, or both. Feel free to customize it to your liking. I would also recommend using pure maple syrup. I used that in my recipe, and it might taste a little different if you use the imitation syrup.

The Homemade Maple Granola Recipe should be below, since it is a granola recipe there is no need to adjust for altitude. I hope you enjoy the recipe! Be sure to leave a comment if you try it out or have any questions!
