Maple Walnut Goji Berry Granola (Vegan, Gluten-Free)

This easy, healthy and delicious Maple Walnut Goji Berry Granola makes for one satisfying gluten-free vegan breakfast, snack or refined sugar-free treat! 

We are a big fan of homemade granola in this household . . .

It is such an easy, healthy and tasty thing to throw together for a quick breakfast, snack or dessert; and it's a great thing to grab to take on a hike or trip to the park.

This particular granola is packed with antioxidant-rich goji berries (also know as wolfberries!). (Suncore foods sells the best goji berries in my opinion!)  Goji berries are chock-full of nutritional benefits including being protein & fiber-rich, full of anti-inflammatory effects, blood sugar balancing, and mood boosting! Throw in some nutrient-dense and filling raw walnuts + wholesome flavors and you are in for one healthy treat!

This Maple Walnut Goji Berry Granola is:
Super easy to make
Full of nutrients and health benefits
Ridiculously tasty & flavorful
Perfectly crunchy
Easy to store and grab & go
Makes a great breakfast, snack, or dessert
Gluten-free, vegan, and refined sugar-free

This is certainly one of  the best granola concoctions I've ever thrown together and I hope you feel the same way, too!

Enjoy. xo.
