Are you a granola addict? I’m talking standing in the kitchen, eating handful after handful granola addict. Maybe while hiding it from your kids. I know some of you can relate — it’s hard to keep away from the crunchy, wholesome bites of deliciousness!

In my house we use granola more than for topping yogurt or eating with milk. It’s a way to transform breakfast, snack time, and dessert into something special. Granola is something you can feel good about eating because those whole grains help fill you up and keep you going all day long.

Granola and all the ways to use it are perfect for summer road trips, lunchbox snacks, cozy desserts … do you get what I’m saying? The point is, granola is for any time, any place.

We’ve gathered together some of our favorite granola recipes to help get you set for the days ahead when you definitely will need something to crunch on. Whether you like to make your own granola or dress up a favorite like Van’s Blueberry Walnut Granola, there’s a recipe here for you.

We love granola because it’s so utterly customizable. There’s really no going wrong when using granola, so let the seasons and your mood be your inspiration. Dried fruits, spices, or chocolate — it’s all good. And when it comes to using that granola, we’ve got you covered with the very best recipes this side of the cereal aisle.

Grab a spoon and get ready for granola bliss!
