Healthy Homemade Granola
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure policy.
We all bought cereal and granola at the grocery store. But have you ever looked at the ingredient list and noticed how much sugar they actually contain?
If you think "no sugar, no flavor", let us prove you wrong! This healthy granola is as rich in fiber and nutrients as it is in flavors.
And the best part: it is easily customizable. You can add or replace raisins with other dried fruits like dried apricots, cranberries, and so on! You can even add unsweetened high-quality chocolate to this granola. However, make sure to only add your chocolate chunks or chips once the granola is baked and completely cool.
Here are a few high-quality chocolates we recommend:
Valrhona Guanaja Dark Chocolate (70%)
Valrhona Araguani Dark Chocolate (72%)
Valrhona Jivara Milk Chocolate (40%)
Check out our website for more recommended chocolates.
You may store this granola in a large glass jar and place it in a dry space. You will be able to keep it for up to 2 weeks.
Can’t wait for you to try this healthy granola at home!
Bon appétit!

Healthy Granola
1 - Preheat your oven to 375℉ (190℃).
2 - Using a sharp knife, roughly chop the almonds into small pieces.
Tip: We recommend you use a Santoku knife for this task. We love Japanese knives and recommend this quality kit from GLOBAL for home and professional chefs. We also love this reversible cutting board with integrated hand grips from John Boos.
For more information about Japanese knives, check out our detailed article "A Complete Guide To Japanese Knives".
3 - To a large bowl, add the oats, chopped almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and maple syrup. Mix everything together with a silicone spatula until well combined.
4 - Transfer the granola mixture to a large baking tray lined with parchment paper, spreading it into a thin even layer. Transfer it to the preheated oven and bake it for about 20 minutes.
5 - Once baked, allow the granola to cool completely before breaking it apart and transferring it to a large bowl. Finally, add the raisins to the bowl and stir until fully incorporated.
6 - Store this granola in a large glass jar and place it in a dry space. You will be able to keep it for up to 2 weeks.
7 - Enjoy!
