What is granola?

Granola, sometimes referred to as trail mix, consists of a mixture of dried fruits, nuts, seeds, sometimes chocolate bits, oats, and some sort of sweetener, like maple syrup. The concoction is baked until the oats are crisp. It’s usually eaten as cereal or as a topper for vegan yogurt and smoothie bowls.

Vegan Granola FAQ

What is vegan granola made of?

While some standard ingredients often end up in granola of any kind, like oats, nuts, coconut, raisins, maple syrup, and nut butters. However, any number of items, ranging from dried fruits to nuts and seeds, are fair game.

How to make vegan granola?

The thing to keep in mind when you’re making vegan granola is that you want to steer clear of ingredients like honey. Because bees make honey and bees are animals, honey is technically not a vegan food item. You can substitute other sweeteners like maple syrup, agave, or nut butters. Otherwise, it’s just a mix of different dried ingredients like oats, dried fruits, nuts, and seeds.

What is the best binder for granola?

In the non-vegan world, people use egg whites or honey to bind their granola. However, for purely vegan granola, you can try nut butters, maple syrup, dates, mashed bananas, or chia seeds.
