A few weeks ago I released my recipe for Pumpkin Pie Parfaits and I knew I would need to add an easy granola recipe to go along with it. I can’t think of a better, simpler granola recipe than this one. This recipe for Cinnamon Granola is vegan, oil-free, and refined sugar-free.
Homemade granola is one of the easiest recipes you can make. Toss all ingredients together in a bowl and simply bake on a sheet pan until crispy and done. This Cinnamon Granola recipe is even simpler because it only requires 5 ingredients.

This recipe makes approximately 2 cups worth of granola. You can store the granola in an air-tight container in the cupboard for up to 6 months.
I like to add this granola to ice cream, chopped bananas, yogurt, oatmeal, and trail mix. This granola recipe serves as a base recipe for you to customize to your liking. You can add raisins, dried cranberries, dried cherries, pumpkin seeds, nuts, chocolate chips, or whatever else you’d like!
