Honey Roasted Granola

Summer is upon us friends! The sun is shining, school is out and that means it’s time to get outside! Whether you like to camp, hike, build sand castles at the beach or just have a simple picnic this Honey Almond Granola is the perfect partner for your adventures!

Made with lots of fiber, healthy fats, prebiotics and, of course, flavor we just had to share our favorite granola recipe with you :)

DYK that sprouted seeds don’t just have more fiber but more insoluble fiber making them a great prebiotic. Additionally sprouting makes the seeds easier to digest and allows for easier absorption of nutrients.

Paired with manuka honey, which studies show is also a great prebiotic, this granola will give you and your family the long lasting energy you need for your outings without the crash of traditional sugar.

We do heat the honey in this recipe therefore it is no longer raw however, the MGO (aka methylglyoxal) will not be affected much by the process so you can feel even better knowing you are reaping the unique benefits manuka has to offer.
