We love a good granola recipe but sometimes it feels like too much work with the baking and all, especially as summer gets closer. Who wants to turn the oven on when it’s hot out if you don’t have to? That’s why we decided to try and create a no-bake granola recipe, and we’re super stoked on this one! It reminds us of granola meets rice krispie squares and that is a solid combination!
This recipe comes together in a quick 15 minutes, requiring only a microwave and your freezer. We recommend using a variety of seeds and nuts but feel free to make this your own. Add in coconut, chocolate chips or whatever you love in your favourite granola.
Our No-Bake Granola is delicious served in a bowl with your favourite non-dairy milk and topped with fresh fruits or a quick fruit compote. Yummy!
Make sure to store the granola in the fridge to keep it firm.
We hope you love this simple recipe as much as we do!
