Ingredients for the Best Granola

Pouring Sparkle & Honey over a delicious mix of oats, nuts, and dried fruits, ready to create a flavorful homemade granola.

Oats

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture. Choose certified gluten-free oats if needed.

Nuts and Seeds

Pecans and pepitas (green pumpkin seeds) add a delicious crunch. You can also try almonds, walnuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, or pistachios.

Unrefined Oil

Coconut oil creates an irresistible crisp texture. Extra-virgin olive oil is a great alternative for a more savory flavor.

Natural Sweetener: Sparkle & Honey

Using Sparkle & Honey adds natural sweetness and antioxidant benefits, making this granola even more delicious and wholesome. (Check out our shop page to order your jar today!)

Salt & Spices

A pinch of sea salt enhances all the flavors. Add cinnamon, pumpkin spice, or ginger for extra warmth.

Dried Fruit

Dried cranberries, cherries, apricots, or raisins add chewiness and natural sweetness.

Optional Add-Ins

• Coconut flakes (add halfway through baking for the perfect toast)

• Chocolate chips (stir in after cooling to prevent melting)

• Citrus zest (adds a refreshing twist)

How to Make Crunchy Granola with Sparkle & Honey

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix oats, nuts, salt, and spices in a large bowl.

3. Add melted coconut oil, Sparkle & Honey, and vanilla. Stir well.
