Cranberry Almond Granola

I love Granola!cranberry almond granola CV1

I think I have been on a huge granola kick here lately. I feel like I need to have it on hand at all times! I am not quite sure why, though. My only thing is which one to make? I am always playing around with my rolled oats and nuts. this week dried cranberries got involved and they made an amazing cranberry almond granola!

Today’s weather, although is cloudy, it is warm! I can smell and feel that spring is here by my stuffy nose and watery eyes, however, an allergy pill can fix that. I love spring. I lived in Florida the 18 years of my life and any weather that has the sun shining I am a huge fan of. With the sunshine coming out and warmer weather means that I want to spend the day outside and granola is the best thing to have on hand as a simple snack! 

I have always been a huge fan of fruit and yogurt parfaits mixed with some granola. They make such an easy breakfast, snack, dessert or even lunch and dinner sometimes. Granola can be so expensive to buy at the grocery store that buying the ingredients and make a few batches is worth it! If you have a bulk food store near you it is even cheaper to buy at these stores Too!To be completely honest, making granola, like this cranberry almond granola, is much better for you and tastes amazing too!

this cranberry almond granola is the perfect spring outside snack! Pack it in lunch boxes or in your hiking pack for the day out! It fills you up so much with all of the fiber and protein. I love it!

There are so many different ways to make granola or granola bars and I love that it can be tethered to whatever you are craving! Craving something chocolaty? okay, you can make this chocolate peanut butter granola , or maybe you want a granola bar? Well, these Almond Peanut butter granola bars are off the hook! I think my mouth is watering just thinking about all that granola! SO filling and SO yummy!

I don’t think I have a favorite in all honesty. If I want it then I will eat it… Yeah that might sound a little bad but it is granola! How can you seriously turn it down! 😀 However, this cranberry almond granola is probably the best I have made! haha

    At one time I would have left out the salt, but I agree wholeheartedly that it definitely boosts the flavor! This looks wonderful, Gabby.
