Granola is one of my favorite toppings and snacks but unfortunately most store bought brands are loaded with sugar so when I realized how easy it is to make, I started adding it to my weekly meal prep rotation.

This is my favorite classic granola recipe with notes of cinnamon and vanilla. It’s a great base recipe to enjoy as is or jazzed up with ingredients like mini chocolate chips, dried cranberries or whatever your heart desires!

Having a jar of this vanilla cinnamon granola on hand means you’re always just a scoop away from a nutritious and satisfying snack. It’s perfect for busy mornings when you need a quick breakfast or for packing in lunchboxes as a midday pick-me-up. Store it in an airtight container, and you’ll have a crunchy, flavorful addition to your pantry that’s as versatile as it is irresistible!
