Snickerdoodle Granola (GF + Vegan)
The simple joys of cinnamon and maple can be easily found here in my snickerdoodle granola. This gluten free and vegan granola is naturally sweetened with maple and uses a healthy mix of almonds and pepitas for additional crunch and nutrients. Vegan white chocolate chips into the mix is an optional, but delicious addition! When in Australia, I love using gluten free oats by GF Oats Australia. The brand also makes delish gluten free Anzac biscuits I enjoy using in my bakes. Like my Coffee Cake Muffins with Anzac Streusel. Love cinnamon as much as I do? Try these Buckwheat Cinnamon Scrolls! After baking the snickerdoodle granola make sure to add another sprinkling of cinnamon to cooling granola mix for an added flavour punch.
