This is my go-to healthy vegan granola recipe and one that disappears almost as quickly as it’s made! Full to the brim with healthy oats, sweet cranberries, dark chocolate and a generous helping of nuts and seeds, it’ll keep you going until lunch time.
It’s jam-packed with healthy ingredients and naturally sweetened with coconut nectar and a dash of cinnamon. Watch out though, its dangerously addictive!
I have no doubt that you will LOVE this recipe – be sure to tag me on Instagram when you make it @aveganvisit 🙂

* Lucuma is a Peruvian fruit. It is dried and made into a powder which has a flavour similar to raisins and is used as a natural sweetener. If you can get hold of it in your local supermarket or health food store I really recommend using it in this recipe because it adds a delicious flavour, although it isn’t essential.
