Homemade granola with almond milk is one of my favorite breakfast and you can use your favorite ingredients. I love mangoes, so I use it a lot to make my granolas, but you can also use other fruits, I love dried berries too! Store-bought granolas has nothing to do with this awesome, healthy, super sweet, crunchy, tasty, homemade granola.
The recipe is so simple, so you can change the ingredients, you can use other cereals, nuts and seeds, fresh or dried fruit or the sweetener you prefer. I think it’s impossible to go wrong with homemade granola.
We wanna share with you other simple and delicious breakfast recipes, especially our favorites: green smoothie and oatmeal, they are ready in less than 15 minutes, so you have no excuse to eat a healthy breakfast if you’re in a hurry. Granola is even better, you just have to place it into a bowl and add milk. You only need 30 minutes to prepare your homemade granola and you can make enough for 1 or 2 weeks.
We’ve used coconut oil because we love the flavor, but you can use another oil or not add oil, for a lighter version. You can also substitute the dried mango, you can use raisins or any dried fruit, the result will be the same.
You should try the granola once you’ve mixed all the ingredients and before to bake, because it’s probably you wanna add more sweetener. We’ve used agave syrup, but you can use coconut sugar, honey (if you’re not vegan), maple syrup, coconut sugar, brown sugar, etc.
You really, really, REALLY NEED to try this recipe, I have no words to describe this awesome homemade granola, it’s just perfect. I couldn’t live without granola, it’s vegan and gluten-free, so it’s a healthy breakfast you can eat with no regrets.

I make a big batch of gluten free granola at least once a week. I love the addition of sesame seeds and dried mango. I have never thought of incorporating those before!
Hi Annie! If you like granola you should try this recipe, dried mango and sesame seeds are amazing!
