Sea salt on granola is a game changer. It changes the flavor profile and makes it that much more addictive! The combination of the sweet maple syrup, the crunch of the pecans and the saltiness of the sea salt is unmatched. You need to prep this granola for the week!

I always have a homemade batch of granola on hand for smoothie bowls, yogurt bowls or just to snack on. After you make this granola recipe, check out my Almond Butter Granola and Protein Granola!

Frequently Asked Questions

How to make healthy granola clusters?

Use egg whites! The protein in the egg white helps the oats bind together. Also, when the egg white cooks, it makes the granola crunchy.

How long does homemade granola last?

Store homemade granola in an airtight container in the pantry or in the refrigerator for about two weeks. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months.
