Salted Maple Granola is the ultimate granola for fall breakfasts. Sweet and salty, crisp and crunchy, it’s the perfect complement to seasonal fruits like pears and apples. And it’s a quick and easy way to make your house smell incredible! The scent of maple and cinnamon will fill your kitchen and warm it right up on a chilly autumn day.
With the combination of sweet and salty nuts and seeds in this Salted Maple granola, it’s a delicious snack, too. This granola is easy to eat - almost like a trail mix - for a little mid-morning or afternoon snack. It meets my perfect snack trifecta of protein, fat and fiber!
My favorite way to eat this granola is layered with plain Greek yogurt and fresh diced pears. Pears marry with the maple and pecans deliciously, and enhance the seasonality of this granola flavor. Salted Maple Granola would also be an awesome pairing for my Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowls. Put this Salted Maple Granola on top of mashed sweet potatoes, and it’s almost like having sweet potato casserole for breakfast!
