The whole-grain mixture includes a variety of nuts, oats, fruit and more. Our delicious granola recipes are a fun treat by the handful or as a healthy topping for yogurt, ice cream, and more. If a big bowl of cereal is your idea of starting the morning off right, definitely consider one of these homemade granola recipes. 01 of 07 Quinoa-Pumpkin Seed Granola View Recipe Andy Lyons Here's a new way to use quinoa beyond grain-and-veggie bowls. Our gluten-free granola recipe coats a combo of cooked quinoa, pumpkin seeds, almonds, and flaxseed with honey-sweetened oil. After just 20 minutes (and some cooling time), your kitchen is going to smell amazing and you'll be enjoying a delightful breakfast. 02 of 07 Crunchy Granola View Recipe Blaine Moats Bring on the crunch! This easy granola recipe has plenty of variations to fit every flavor preference. Add your favorite toss-ins to the basic granola recipe or use a suggestion from our Test Kitchen such as almonds, flaxseeds, maple syrup, vanilla, and dried cherries. 03 of 07 Spiced Papaya-Cranberry Granola View Recipe Carson Downing This granola recipe by cookbook author Nik Sharma has a surprising ingredient in the mix: turmeric. That's right, the anti-inflammatory spice provides a slightly earthy flavor to contrast the sweetness from dried cranberries and papaya. Test Kitchen Tip: Choose certified gluten-free rolled oats to make this a gluten-free granola recipe. 04 of 07 Slow Toasted Granola View Recipe Andy Lyons How convenient that one of our best granola recipes happens to be made in a slow cooker.

Look no further than this granola recipe for a boost. Rolled oats and quick-cooking barley make up the bulk of the mix. Choose your favorite nuts to accompany the brown sugar and cinnamon-infused homemade granola. Enjoy this cereal one of two ways: warm or cold. 06 of 07 Nut-Coconut Granola View Recipe Andy Lyons Keep a batch of this granola recipe in the pantry for a quick and nutritious Paleo-friendly breakfast. Instead of using grains, we pulse raw pecans, almonds, cashews, and pumkin seeds in a food processor to resemble what would be oats. Once the nuts and seed mixture is coated in coconut oil, it's baked to crispy perfection.

Melted bittersweet chocolate coats every bite while semisweet chocolate and white baking pieces are added to the crunchy mix. For a less sweet take, try our cranberry-pistachio variation. 12 Healthy Chocolate Desserts to Satisfy Your Sugar Cravings Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Tell us why! Other Submit
