How long does maple syrup granola keep?
Once the baked granola has cooled, yo can store it in an airtight container, at room temperature, and it will be good for a month. You can also freeze it for up to 4 months in a ziplock bag. When ready to use, thaw and add the dried fruits, if desired. The granola is delicious even without the dried fruit!
I love making granola as a good meal prep breakfast item. Once it’s made, you can just grab as much as you need and go.
Is granola healthy?
This granola is full of healthy ingredients like oats, seeds and nuts which are great foods to eat and breakfast. They help to keep you energized and full until lunch, thanks to the fiber and protein they contain.

Making your own maple syrup granola is not only super easy, but it’s a much cheaper option too! You can make a huge batch for a lot less money than the ready made store bought varieties, plus you know everything that’s going in there!
Vegan Granola Recipe
This recipe is naturally vegan, as well as gluten-free as maple syrup is used as a natural sweetener. I love the taste of maple syrup, but if you wish, you can swap it for honey.
