This healthy granola is a family favorite. When made into bars, it makes a great grab-and-go breakfast option or an awesome after-school snack. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yield: approximately 18 servings<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bd cup plus 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed, divided<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 tablespoons water<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 cups old-fashioned oats<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 cup almond flour<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bc cup avocado oil<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00be cup honey<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 teaspoons vanilla extract<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pinch of salt<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00be teaspoon cinnamon<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00be cup chocolate chips<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Line a cookie sheet (or a 9\u201dx 13\u201d pan, for bars) with parchment paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed with water, mix, and let sit. This is your flax egg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bake at 350\u00b0F for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For granola, break up into small pieces. For bars, let it sit for 5 minutes before slicing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are flaxseeds?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flaxseeds are small oil seeds. They have gained popularity as a health food due to their high content of heart-healthy omega-3 fats, fibers, and other unique plant compounds. Flaxseeds have been linked to many health benefits, including healthy digestion. Ground flaxseed or flaxseed meal can be found locally at most supermarkets, including Gourmet Glatt and Evergreen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
