High Fiber Granola (GF)
Homemade High-Fiber Granola
This granola recipe was born out of my love for another granola that had great flavor but was loaded with seed oils. I wanted something just as delicious but healthier and packed with fiber to pair with my morning yogurt. After some experimenting, I found the perfect combination of oats, seeds, and sweetness that keeps me satisfied for hours!
One unique addition to this recipe is puffed rice. I love the light, airy texture it adds. While baking causes the puffiness to soften slightly, it still brings a delightful crunch and makes the granola more filling than using oats alone as the base.
This recipe delivers a great balance of protein, healthy fats, and carbs, with just the right amount of natural sweetness. If you prefer a savory twist, feel free to add a pinch of salt—there’s none in the base recipe, so you can adjust to your liking.
Whether you enjoy it with yogurt, milk, or straight out of the jar, this granola is a versatile and nourishing staple you’ll love!
High-Fiber Homemade Granola
Ingredients:
2 cups whole-grain organic oats (GF)
1 cup organic puffed rice
1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds (or roasted)
1 tbsp flax seeds
2 tbsp hemp seeds
2–3 dates, chopped
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup molasses
1/3 cup tahini
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
Combine all dry ingredients (oats, puffed rice, seeds, spices, and dates) in a large mixing bowl.
Add the wet ingredients (molasses, tahini, egg, and vanilla extract) and mix until evenly coated.
Spread the mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning.
Let cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
Tips:
For extra sweetness, add a drizzle of maple syrup, but the molasses provides a lower glycemic option with a savory touch.
Add a pinch of salt if you prefer a more savory balance.
Enjoy with yogurt, milk, or straight from the jar for a filling, nutrient-dense snack!
