Granola can be such a good breakfast or snack. It’s great in a bowl of milk as well as a crunchy topping for yogurt and fresh fruit. I find one of the challenges of granolas is that their crunchy satisfaction can be on the carbohydrate-heavy sweet side. These granolas are full of flavor, crispy and crunchy textures, and superfoods. With no added sugar we keep it lightly sweetened with silan (date syrup).
