How to Make Healthy Granola?

How to make healthy granola? Granola is one of many foods that can mislead people because it contains Oats and Nuts, so it gives the impression that it is healthy. However, most granolas are high in sugar (sugar, honey, dried fruit, etc.)

The fact that we think when we see the branding that it says healthy snacks or such, we believe it is good for us. The truth is most products are processed so much that they are not healthy, and you are better having a handful of nuts and raisins and keep in a Ziplock bag. Eating healthy has become the new normal for some, yet branding has so many people fooled. So buyer beware, read the nutritional labels and see what is inside the food you are consuming.

Notes

This homemade Granola is easily customizable:

Try swapping the hemp seed for shredded coconut, or use any other dried fruit instead of raisins like dates, apricots or cranberries, that would be delicious. Any dried fruit makes a great choice; mashed banana chips are also amazing!

If you are allergic to nuts, try substituting them for almonds or sunflower seeds.
You can also play with spices, try a combination of cinnamon and ginger, or perhaps a pinch of nutmeg.

Drops of stevia are optional but recommended — this is much better than refined sugar or nothing at all will work better.
