I have been loving making all these granola recipes lately and this Apple Granola is a perfect new addition to my collection.
So many boxed granola recipes are ladened with sugar and therefore pretty high in calories and just not very healthy at all.
This Easy Healthy Homemade Apple Granola uses just a couple of simple ingredients and is extremely delicious.
It's not super sweet, because it's not full of sugar, but it is perfect when combined with some yoghurt and fresh fruit. My preferred choices being apples (Red Prince are my favourite variety at present) and mixed berries.
I have been enjoying the granola recipes for breakfast or for a snack in the evening if I save my healthy extra b choice. I love the crunch it has.
Hey, I have even been known to just eat my serving of granola on it's own with a cuppa, as it's like eating broken up pieces of flapjack cookies - yum!!
This recipe for this Apple Granola makes 3 servings, I know you could just make one serving, but when I make this, I know I will want it a few days in a row and making a small batch up like this saves time. I just divide the whole recipe once made up into 3 equal servings and jar up. Then you can just grab and go, with whatever you want to mix it with.
You can even add this to a bowl with fruit and drizzle your favourite milk over the top as part of your healthy extra a choice if you want.
Don't forget to check out the Pumpkin Granola, Banana Granola and Chocolate Banana Granola. Wow that's some awesome choices for you, along with this delicious Apple Granola, which one is your favourite?

Rachel says
I made this for breakfast and although I burnt it slightly, it still came out delicious. I used to often have sugary granola with my yogurt for breakfast before I started slimming world and this tastes just as good!
P.s You need to edit some small mistakes in the recipe instructions. In no.2 you missed out maple syrup. In step 3 the last part seems to be missing a word.

thanks Rachel, will get that edited now. Most recipes get typed up once the kids are in bed and often under tired eyes lol.
Hayley says
Do you think honey would work as a good substitute for maple syrup?
Shevy (Slimming Eats) says
Hi Hayley - yes honey should work out fine.
tracey sommerford says

Hi Tracey - 1/2 cup is 120ml. There are 15ml in 1 tablespoon. So 8 tbs in 1/2 cup 🙂
