Loaded with seeds, this maple hemp granola is packed with plant-based protein. Great with milk, yogurt and berries, or as a snack!

Because they’re high in vitamins and healthy fat, we love adding hemp hearts to homemade granola! They’re slightly chewy, with a mild nutty taste, and chock-full of protein.

This maple hemp granola, made with olive oil and maple syrup, is refined sugar-free and vegan. Enjoy it plain with dairy or non-dairy milk, sprinkled on a smoothie bowl, or topped with yogurt and frozen berries!

Remove the sheet from the oven, cool the granola on a wire rack, then stir in the dried cranberries. Store cooled maple hemp granola in an airtight container for several weeks.

Tips & Notes

If gluten is a concern, be sure to use certified gluten-free oats.

For an extra flavour boost, add ½-cup of shredded unsweetened coconut before baking, or ½-cup of toasted coconut chips after the maple hemp granola has cooled.

Substitutions

If you can’t find hemp hearts, chia seeds, flax seeds, or a mix of the two can be substituted.

Homemade pumpkin spice, or homemade chai spice, are nice cool weather alternatives to cinnamon.

Use any neutral-tasting oil you like in place of olive oil. Grape seed and coconut oil work well.

Honey is a good substitute for maple syrup.

Switch the cranberries to any other dried fruit you like. Dried mango, raisins, currants, or blueberries are great.
