Call me a homemade granola addict, but this is my Ultimate Chunky Crunchy Granola! If you’re going to make try one of my homemade granolas, this is THE one to make. (Sorry other granolas, I love you too.) And there is no oat pulp or almond pulp involved, so everyone can make it!
This basic granola is a delectable blend of oats, almonds, coconut and pumpkin seeds that can be broken up into crunchy chunks as large as you want. And I’m not kidding — literally as large as you want. And I pulsed the almonds in a blender so there aren’t any huge chunks of nuts in the granola — is it just me or do people not like that either?!
Feel free to sub different types of nuts and seeds to your preference, but keep the proportions to achieve the best chunky texture.
