I&#8217;ve already shared this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/tropical-granola\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tropical granola<\/a> and this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/super-easy-toasted-coconut-granola\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">toasted coconut granola<\/a> &#8211; both of which start with the same base as this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Homemade granola is SO easy, it&#8217;s one thing that I absolutely refuse to buy from the shops now. The shop bought versions are always stuffed with unnecessary refined sugar, and the all natural ones are so expensive.. there&#8217;s just no need to buy it when it&#8217;s this quick and easy to make!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Cacao-Crunch-Granola-1-640x960.jpg\" alt=\"This vegan cacao crunch granola is perfect for a quick on the go breakfast.
