Healthy Crunchy Pecan & Fig Granola

This healthy home-made granola recipe is perfect for breakfast, a quick snack, or an energy boost before working out. It's really easy and quick to make and will last you for quite a while. The figs and pecans give this granola a unique and absolutely delicious taste. It is also naturally high in protein and gluten-free. However, some processed oats might not be entirely gluten-free and processed in facilities where they process non-gluten-free foods as well. So to be sure, please check the package of the oats you are planning to use.

Finding a nice vegan crunchy granola can be tricky. Luckily making your own is super easy, mostly cheaper, and definitely more delicious. It also gives you the opportunity to perfectly adjust it to your preferred taste.

We love how flexible this recipe is. You can easily replace the pecan nuts with any other nut of choice. The same applies for the figs. Another crunchy granola version we love is walnuts and raisins.

In our recipe, we use as little sugar as necessary to still make it crunchy. While making this recipe, we tried replacing the maple syrup with dates or bananas to make it even more healthy. But unfortunately, that didn't work. It made our granola soft and took the nice crunchiness away. Which can still taste nice of course, but just wasn't what we were aiming for.

We hope you enjoy our healthy crunchy pecan & fig granola! 💕
