    Making your own homemade granola at home could not be easier, more fun or MORE delicious than the store-bought variety. I’m always making a batch for the kiddos to nibble on as a snack or as I like it: a quick ready-made breakfast to serve with almond milk or yogurt. We also enjoy grabbing some to take on day hikes and car trips. It’s truly fun and easy, and this delightful lemon poppy seed version is no exception. My family adores it, and I hope you do, too!

    Tips for making Lemon Poppy Seed Granola:

    • If you are not vegan or dairy-free, you can replace the coconut oil with melted butter if you would prefer.

    • You can use fresh lemon juice or bottled. I like this organic one a lot.

    • For a vegan version use maple syrup. For a vegetarian version, I recommend honey. For a sugar-free granola, I love this sugar-free sweetener.

    • For a nut-free granola, you can omit the walnuts or replace with any seeds of choice.

    • If you want your granola to clump together into clusters, spread it thickly and make sure it is all touching before baking.

    • If you want a loose cereal-like granola, spread thinly and leave some spaces between oats.

    • This granola stores well in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days. In the refrigerator for up to one week.
