Healthy Quinoa Granola

This really is the best healthy granola recipe! It’s quick and easy to make, naturally sweetened with (just a little) maple syrup, and so flavorful and delicious. Healthy Quinoa Granola is our new favorite.

Granola is always a huge hit in my house. My boys love stirring it into their froyos, my husband loves snacking on it at work and I love sprinkling it on top of my Greek yogurt.

I have been on a little bit of a health kick of late. I’ve completely kicked out sugar from my routine, trying more healthy stuff that is whole and natural.

These crispy, healthy, gluten-free broccoli cauliflower goat cheese quinoa patties are simple and nutritious. If you want, skip the cheese and use vegan cheese to make it fully vegan.

Happy New Week you guys!!

With the boys home, there’s a little bit of indulgent food, a lot of comfort food, and in between, I try to squeeze in some healthy food too….
