This is a granola unlike any other granolas. This pepita granola is one that I originally made to go on top of a fall chicken salad, but because of it’s popularity, I decided that it needed to have it’s own special space for you to reference. And if you are thinking “granola on a salad?” I would say, don’t knock it until you try it! It’s actually quite the combo and provides the perfect little crunch and slight sweetness that takes your salad to the next level. Of course if you are a granola purist, and simply want to eat granola for breakfast or a snack, that clearly works too…which is why I decided to give this granola it’s very own post. This recipe for the best pepita granola will have you wanting to make a new batch to have on hand every single week.
Soooo...how was your Valentine's weekend?! I hope it was filled with lots of chocolate and things that aren't good for you! Ours was good, Saturday during the day we were both kind of busy, but we did manage to sneak in dinner together on Saturday night. And Sunday we ate waffles, took naps, and then filled our bellies with pasta before calling it a night. I know what you are thinking...we are pretty wild and crazy right? It was kind of my perfect weekend, I have to say. But now Monday is here and it's time to be healthy and productive and all that other grown up stuff. Luckily I have a big batch of my almond granola made up so my breakfasts will be a no brainer and that's just one less thing I have to worry about during the week!
I can't tell you how obsessed I am with this granola lately. First let me state that I am almond crazed. I love anything with almond flavoring in it.
