Hi there 👋🏼 We’re getting into that time of year where warm, cozy foods hits the spot! And I’m sure this Healthy Homemade Granola will do just that.
I’m a granola phene 😬 I love it on yogurt and smoothies, but you bet I eat it plain too! It’s my kryptonite.
My favorite store bought is a tie between LiveGFree’s Gluten Free Cranberry Cashew and Honey and Purely Elizabeth’s Original.
But I will go out on a limb and say this makes the top of the list.
It’s filled with fall-inspired ingredients like maple syrup, cinnamon and pumpkin seeds. And the best part is, it’s low in sugar!
So let’s get to it.

How Long Does Homemade Granola Last
Granola can last a long time (up to 6 months or longer), if stored in an airtight container.
I suggest making a double batch because you can keep it in your pantry and trust me when I say you’re going to want it! 😏
And speaking of double batches, this healthy, homemade granola makes for a perfect gift at the holidays! Fill up a mason jars and tie a pretty bow around the top and viola you have yourself the perfect gift to give your friends, coworkers or neighbors!
