I guess you could say I’m on a granola making kick but this Cashew Butter Trail Mix Granola has me drooling! One thing I love about making my own granola is the fact that I can make them into super large chunks. One of my favorite ways to eat this granola is in a bowl with milk, just like a bowl of cereal! Super simple, just like this recipe.
I enjoy making granola because there aren’t really any rules. If it comes out a little too soft, it’s still edible. If it comes out a little too crunchy, that’s fine too. In reality, presentation doesn’t really need to be there because you’re just tossing it in a bowl of yogurt or in a bowl with milk. I guess you can say it’s the perfect lazy girl baked good! Right up my alley!
You just need 8 ingredients to make this Cashew Butter Trail Mix Granola (and you probably have most of these ingredients in your pantry already!):
Rolled Oats
Mixed Nuts
Cashew Butter
Coconut Oil
Honey
Vanilla
Ground Ginger
Collagen
How to know when your granola is done:
Although granola making is super easy, it’s also really easy to burn. So my number 1 tip is to keep an eye on it! If it does get a little crispy on the edges, that’s totally fine! Just mix those pieces into the middle so that they don’t turn black.
