Cinnamon Spice Granola

There’s nothing better than homemade granola. This simple Cinnamon Spice Granola recipe makes the perfect breakfast treat.

Hi, my name is Georgie and I’m a granola snob. I think granola is like coffee in that, once you acquire a taste for good granola you really can’t go back to sub-par ‘nola.

I think the snobbery began when my mom started making her homemade “Goodness Gracious Granola.” Whenever I’d visit, she’d have this giant jar filled with granola. It was just SO much better than anything you’d buy from a major brand. Packed with crunchy oats, nuts, seeds, coconut and dried fruit, I couldn’t help but put in on everything.

Once I learned to make my own granola, it was game over. When you have the base recipe memorized, you can really go crazy from there with all the flavor variations. I shared my go-to recipe with my newsletter crew if you’re interested in exclusive recipes and other fun shenanigans.)

A couple weeks ago, during one of my many granola baking-fests, I threw out the question to my insta-crew: “what flavors of granola would you be interested in?” I got so many great suggestions and one of my favorites was a simple cinnamon spice granola.

Cinnamon is such a fantastic flavor that goes with so many things, so of course it would be wonderful in a granola. Homemade granola can also be an excellent gift, especially when you’re traveling to visit family. Like “hey thanks for letting me stay at your place, here’s some bangin’ granola for your face” If anyone actually writes that on a gift tag PLEASE send me a pic because that would be amazing.

Once you make your Cinnamon Spice Granola you’ll wanna put it on everything including:

  • Smoothies
  • Yogurt
  • Ice cream
  • Toast
  • Straight in you face hole
