Cardamom Coconut Cranberry Healthy Granola (Gluten Free + Vegan)
This Cardamom Coconut Cranberry Healthy Granola is SO delicious! I’ve literally had this stocked in our house on repeat for two months now since I created this recipe. Every time the granola runs low my partner tells me he wants a fresh batch haha it’s just that good!! This granola is plant based, refined sugar free, and FULL of great flavour. The combination of cardamom with the tart cranberry and sweet and creamy coconut is amazing.
This Cardamom Coconut Cranberry Healthy Granola has quinoa puffs, almonds and pecans, and other ingredients that are incredibly good for you. This vegan granola has protein, fibre, and loads of vitamins giving you exactly what you need for breakfast. Or a snack! This recipe has minimal added sugar to keep it as healthy as possible. The maple syrup binds the pieces together though, so you do need some for it to be granola. 🙂
Enjoy this granola on a smoothie bowl, with some plant based milk or yogurt! Delicious! I have other granola recipes on my blog as well if you are as big of a granola fan as me! Such as my Peanut Butter and Chocolate Protein Granola. Or my tasty Healthy Everyday Granola!
This Cardamom Coconut Cranberry Healthy Granola recipe is gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free, and vegan so it’s perfect for many diets!! Enjoy!
