At our house, most weekday mornings feel more rushed than I like to admit! Getting kids out of bed, cooking breakfast, making sure school lunches are packed, backpacks are good to go, everyone has a water bottle and nobody forgets clothes for their after school activities…it’s always a big juggle! Having this homemade nourishing granola on hand has saved me more than once!

I first made this version when making a little care package for a neighbor who had surgery. I wanted to include a snack that was nourishing, but would last longer than a day or two. It has become my go-to ever since. Sprinkle this on top of smoothie bowls, enjoy with coconut yogurt and fresh berries or simply pour it in a bowl with some homemade nut milk!
