Lowfat Maple Granola Recipes

I fell in love with the Kashi Coco Beach granola last year, but no one is carrying it where I live anymore. It was also pretty expensive for a small package, and had 9 grams of fat per 1/2 cup serving. So this recipe is my attempt to recreate a yummy chocolate coconut granola and knock down some of the fat at the same time. The calories in this version are just below the original (224 vs. 230), but the fat was reduced from 9g to 3g without losing any of the protein (both have 6g of protein)!

It's getting to that time of year where leaves change, apples are an abundance,crisp air and best of all the smell of fall. To me the smell of fall is baked pumpkin, apple pie and warm comfort food. Well we can have that in a more healthy way! Get that oven heated and try some yummy Pumpkin Granola! Take your fall apple, put on some Peanut Butter and top with some pumpkin granola! This granola is awesome with oatmeal, yogurt or by the handful! Great source of fiber and protein!! By the way, Holy Mother of Pumpkin! This is so good and clumpy!!! Enjoy!!

Granola is incredibly affordable when you make it yourself. This recipe combines some of my favorite ingredients: maple syrup, almond butter and seeds!

Great for breakfast, lunch or just a snack to tide you over in between. Please your sweet tooth in a healthy, crunchy way!

Call it a parfait, call it a sundae, call it anything you want. Just call on it at snack time.

A delightful combination of fall flavors.

This granola makes a great bowl of cereal or yogurt topping. Gourmet granolas can be quite expensive, which is why I prefer to make my own. For the best results, choose old-fashioned (not quick) oats. Quick oats don’t crisp as nicely and tend to have a more powdery texture.

Delicious side dish!

This is great as a main dish or side!

For me, there are few aromas as enticing or welcoming as homemade granola baking in the oven!

A store near my daughter's house in California has peanut butter granola in the bulk food section. But I couldn't find it anywhere near my house in Illinois, so I found this recipe online and made my own. Now I'm glad I couldn't find it at the store. It's cheaper and I can control the ingredients that are used.
