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!

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.
