Do you have a go-to healthy granola recipe? The first time I tried making my own, I was surprised at both how easy and delicious it was! It has that perfect crunch you’d expect from granola, and just enough sweetness to make it feel like a bit of a treat.

I found this recipe a few years back on @dula_nd’s Instagram page, as I was mindlessly scrolling one day. She’s a Naturopathic Doctor from Toronto, Ontario, a mom of two, a natural birth expert, and she shares tons of simple, yet nutritious meal ideas for both kiddos and adults.  I noticed this great photo she had of a big batch of granola, and the recipe was typed out in her caption. I made sure I took a screenshot and saved it for later, and am I ever glad I did. I’ve made this recipe countless times, and it’s become a total staple in our house. One of the reasons I like this recipe so much is that you can totally play around with different ingredients to make it just the way you like it. Greg loves it with a little extra cinnamon, and if you know me, you know I’m adding a little extra maple syrup 😉

Being the total sugar lover I am, this granola is the perfect way to add just a bit of sweetness to my breakfast in the morning, it’s great as an afternoon snack, and it’s even proven to be a fairly good way of avoiding an after-dinner-ice-cream-run when I need to satisfy a sweet tooth. It’s an all-around pretty great recipe to have around if you ask me. One final reason I’m so in love with this recipe is that I know exactly what’s in it. There are countless brands you can buy at the grocery store, or even at the health food stores, but they tend to be packed with tons of refined sugar. Again, this recipe is sweetened with maple syrup and I swear the cinnamon makes it taste a bit sweeter too. The combo of maple and cinnamon is just heaven!

I’ve kept the recipe below pretty basic, but these are some other things you could add to if you wanted to change it up:

  • chia seeds
  • sunflower seeds
  • hemp seeds

After baking:

  • dried fruit (cranberries, raisins, apricots, currants etc.)
  • banana chips
  • coconut flakes
  • chocolate chips

Let me know if you try this recipe in the comments below!

Maple Cinnamon Granola

  • 3 cups mixed nuts (slivered almonds, chopped walnuts, pecan pieces, pepita seeds)
  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.

  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix really well. 

  4. Spread mixture evenly onto parchment lined baking sheet, and bake for 15 minutes. 

  5. Remove from the oven and use a pancake flipper to turn over granola as best you can. This will help your granola cook as evenly as possible. 

  6. Return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. 

     

  7. Add dried fruit, coconut flakes, chocolate chips or any other ingredients you wish once cooled. 

  8. Store in an airtight container.

Nine years! ⁣ ⁣ We were supposed to get married this summer. We booked our venue, made our guest list, planned our menu, did our engagement photos... and well that's about as far as we got 😂 (for obvious reasons) 🤷‍♀️⁣ ⁣ But heck, at this point why not just wait it out and make it an even 10 before we tie the knot, right? 🤪⁣ ⁣ My fingers and toes are crossed that our big plans fall seamlessly into place next summer and we can celebrate just the way we want with all our friends and family by our side. ⁣ ⁣ 3,285 days and counting 😅 ⁣ ⁣ Can't wait to marry you Greg Giblin ❤

Do you fear trying a Whole30 because you think it will be hard? Do you think it will be hard to give up your favourite treats for 30 days? Do you think it will be hard to ditch sugar and alcohol? Do you think it will be hard to change your habits and ditch your cravings? It might take you a few days to wrap your head around the program. It might feel overwhelming to make changes to your eating habits. It might feel hard to try something brand new. But do you know what else is hard? - It's hard to wake up feeling exhausted in the morning. - It's hard trying to numb your feelings with food and drink. - It's hard feeling out of control around food. - It's hard to wanting to change, but not knowing where to start. - It's hard having aches and pains all the time. - It's hard not being able to keep up with your kids. - It's hard walking around bloated all day. - It's hard having terrible digestion. - It's hard when your clothes feel tight and your uncomfortable with your weight gain. - It's hard watching your health decline and knowing you want to make a change, but not being able to get there on your own. So yes, parts of the Whole30 might feel hard at first. But anything that promises results as good as we do with Whole30 won't come without it's challenges. And think of it this way... staying stuck where you are right now Is. Also. Hard. My September Whole30 group coaching program is starting on Monday, September 13th and I'd love to show you the ropes! If any of those statements above feel true for you, consider joining us to make some big changes to your health, habits and relationship with food. Let me believe in you until you believe in yourself. You can do this! Link in bio to save your spot.

I made sure I took a screenshot and saved it for later, and am I ever glad I did. I’ve made this recipe countless times, and it’s become a total staple in our house. One of the reasons I like this recipe so much is that you can totally play around with different ingredients to make it just the way you like it. Greg loves it with a little extra cinnamon, and if you know me, you know I’m adding a little extra maple syrup 😉

Being the total sugar lover I am, this granola is the perfect way to add just a bit of sweetness to my breakfast in the morning, it’s great as an afternoon snack, and it’s even proven to be a fairly good way of avoiding an after-dinner-ice-cream-run when I need to satisfy a sweet tooth. It’s an all-around pretty great recipe to have around if you ask me. One final reason I’m so in love with this recipe is that I know exactly what’s in it. There are countless brands you can buy at the grocery store, or even at the health food stores, but they tend to be packed with tons of refined sugar. Again, this recipe is sweetened with maple syrup and I swear the cinnamon makes it taste a bit sweeter too. The combo of maple and cinnamon is just heaven!

I’ve kept the recipe below pretty basic, but these are some other things you could add to if you wanted to change it up:

  • chia seeds
  • sunflower seeds
  • hemp seeds

After baking:

  • dried fruit (cranberries, raisins, apricots, currants etc.)
  • banana chips
  • coconut flakes
  • chocolate chips

Maple Cinnamon Granola

  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.

  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix really well. 

  4. Spread mixture evenly onto parchment lined baking sheet, and bake for 15 minutes. 

  5. Remove from the oven and use a pancake flipper to turn over granola as best you can. This will help your granola cook as evenly as possible.
