Fall is here and life is busy with school starting and businesses adapting to our new pandemic lifestyle. I try to simplify morning routines in order to make the start of the day stress-free, so the tone is set or the rest of my schedule. One of favorite items to have on hand is this mapley sweet and crunchy granola, warm with cinnamon and cardamom flavors and crunchy-nutritious with gluten free nuts.

This easy recipe (adapted from Vegan Chickpea) is versatile and delicious. Replace some of the ingredients with your favorite nuts, play with the sweetener (or omit altogether), or even make a savory snack mix by replacing the maple syrup with soy sauce and adding some rosemary or thyme. Play with your food!

 This granola is wonderful sprinkled over your favorite yogurts, over ice cream and even to simply snack on.

 Make a double batch and share as holiday gifts in a pretty mason jar and you are all set!
