Vegan granola to eat for breakfast or whenever you just feel like snacking on something healthy
If you've clicked on this post, I assume you're a breakfast person (or maybe a night person, I don't judge).
I've reached the age where 6:00 AM feels magical to me. I love the quiet of the neighborhood, the pleasant coolness in the air, and the slow pace as the day gradually enters the home.
My favorite thing to eat in the morning is this vegan granola that I make myself.
This granola is chunky, sticky, and perfect for eating in a deep bowl with soy milk and plenty of delicious toppings mixed in.
It's sweet, indulgent, healthy, and provides a nice amount of dietary fiber, complex carbohydrates, and protein that guarantee a feeling of fullness and energy throughout the day.
A bit about vegan granola
This granola is based on oats, bananas, and tahini that bring everything together into a kind of sweet porridge, which is then baked in the oven and crumbled into a deep bowl loaded with soy milk (or any other plant-based drink you love) for a real treat.
Now, I know what you're about to ask me: no, you don't have to add protein powder to the granola.
I like it because it significantly increases the amount of protein I consume daily.
Don't have any? Don't like it? Skip it. It will still turn out delicious and indulgent.
