Vanilla Maple Granola Clusters
★ NO Stir Easy Baking Method ★ Plant Protein
A simple cupboard staple granola recipe with quinoa which adds both crunch and plant-based protein to your cereal. This might be my favourite granola recipe yet – it is simple and delicious. It makes the house smell amazing while cooking, I use the sandwiched sheet pan technique that makes for hands-off NO stirring during baking and creates golden crunchy clusters of granola. I find myself eating this on its own with my coffee – a sweet, healthy morning treat!
