Looking for a crunchy, naturally sweet breakfast that’s both delicious and nutritious? Say hello to our Apple Delight Granola—the easiest way to level up your mornings with whole food goodness and just three simple ingredients!
Why You’ll Love It
At the heart of this cozy, crisp granola is our Apple Delight Superfood Overnight Oats—a blend packed with fiber, natural sweetness from fruit, and ingredients like chia and flax that help support digestion and energy. You get all the comforting flavors of baked apples, cinnamon, and spice… but in a nourishing, no-junk-added granola form.
We’ve paired it with unsweetened applesauce for natural moisture and caramelization during baking (no oil needed!), and a drizzle of date syrup to bind it all together and bring out those deep, baked-apple flavors. The result? Perfectly crunchy clusters you can enjoy with plant milk, on smoothie bowls, or by the handful!
The Healthier Granola Choice
Store-bought granolas often sneak in added oils, sugar, and preservatives. This homemade version is fruit-sweetened, oil-free, gluten-free, and packed with nutrients your body will thank you for.
You’ll be nourishing yourself with:
-
Fiber to support digestion and fullness
-
Antioxidants from apples and spices
-
Omega-3s from flax and chia seeds
-
Plant-based, whole-food ingredients with no refined sugar, salt, or oil
