Health Benefits
Store-bought granola often contains added sugars, artificial flavors, and unhealthy oils, which turn a seemingly healthy food into a high-calorie, sugar-laden snack.
Homemade granola allows you to use wholesome ingredients like oats (rich in fiber and heart-healthy), nuts, seeds, and natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup.
By controlling the sweeteners and fats, you can make granola that is nutrient-dense, promotes heart health, and provides steady energy without the sugar crashes.
