Introducing a Taste of The Healthy Glow Guide: Maple Walnut Granola

I am thrilled to offer you a sneak peek into the deliciousness awaiting you within The Healthy Glow Guide by sharing one of its fantastic recipes. This Maple Walnut Granola perfectly encapsulates the guide’s philosophy: it’s simple, incredibly scrumptious, and made with healthy, wholesome ingredients you likely already have readily available in your kitchen. This easy homemade granola is lightly sweetened with pure maple syrup, beautifully spiced with warm cinnamon, and brimming with delightful textures from the perfectly toasted oats, crunchy walnuts, nutrient-dense pepitas (pumpkin seeds), and chewy dried cranberries. It’s a truly satisfying and nourishing treat.

One of the best aspects of this homemade maple walnut granola recipe is how quickly it comes together. From mixing to baking, it’s ready in about 30 minutes, making it an ideal choice for busy mornings or whenever a craving strikes. My family knows the moment I start baking this granola; the wonderful, warm aroma of maple and cinnamon fills our entire house, acting as an irresistible signal. Everyone comes running as soon as it’s out of the oven, eager for a taste. In fact, it often disappears straight from the sheet pan before it even has a chance to make it into our breakfast bowls!

My granola-loving family of six is absolutely crazy about this recipe, so much so that I’ve had to start doubling, and sometimes even tripling, the batch to keep up with demand! It’s incredibly versatile: we enjoy it in a bowl with milk, sprinkled generously over yogurt for added crunch and flavor, or simply by the handful straight off the pan as a satisfying snack. This homemade granola has quickly become a trusted, go-to recipe in our household, embodying everything we love about healthy, delicious food.

Description

Easily make your own wholesome granola with simple, healthy ingredients. This maple walnut granola is perfect for a nutritious breakfast or a fulfilling afternoon snack, offering delicious flavor and satisfying crunch.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:
1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned are best for texture)
½ cup raw walnuts, roughly chopped
½ cup pepitas (shelled pumpkin seeds)
¼ cup dried cranberries (or substitute with dried cherries for a twist)
1 tablespoon flaxseed meal (for added omega-3s and fiber)
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients:
2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (grade B or dark for richer flavor)

Instructions

Begin by preheating your oven to 350ºF (175ºC). While the oven heats, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients (rolled oats, chopped walnuts, pepitas, dried cranberries, flaxseed meal, and ground cinnamon). Once thoroughly mixed, pour in the melted coconut oil and maple syrup. Stir vigorously until all the dry ingredients are uniformly coated with the wet mixture, ensuring every cluster gets that delightful flavor.
Spread the granola mixture evenly in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring gently every 10 minutes to ensure even toasting and prevent burning. The granola is perfectly done when it achieves a beautiful golden-brown color and smells wonderfully aromatic.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the pan. As it cools, it will crisp up and form delicious clusters. Once fully cooled, transfer the homemade Maple Walnut Granola to an airtight container. It will stay fresh and crunchy for about one week, though it’s often devoured much sooner!
