Love Grown Foods was gracious enough to send me a big heaping box full of delicious granola! Now I’m not sure if you know this but I’m kind of obsessed with the stuff. I put it in my cookies, I mix it in my peanut butter and eat it with fruit (weird I know) and I absolutely CANNOT eat yogurt without some of this yummy deliciousness. Go check out their website and see for yourself!
I was such a huge fan of the flavors they sent me. I think my favorite was definitely their Sweet Cranberry Pecan which had a delicious hint of cinnamon (mmmm!), but each flavor would be amazing eaten by itself or with a lot of different dishes! For instance, you could make baked apples and granola with their Apple Walnut Delight, chocolate chip granola cookies with their Cocoa Goodness, or even oatmeal raisin cookies with their yummy Raisin Almond Crunch! The possibilities are endless! With that said, I would LOVE to share with you a dessert I made that went perfect with this fabulous granola.
These tasty granola squares were SO delicious and super easy to make! I was excited to try this granola as soon as I got home and was so happy when I realized I already had everything I needed on hand. I chose to use the sweet cranberry pecan flavor and it really mixed well with the strawberry preserves, but you could use any granola of your choice. Hope you enjoy these as much as I did!

Excellent use of granola….I’m usually too busy noshing it to bake with it….I must experiment more.
Yum! I imagine the crust mix would make a great fruit crumble (crisp) topping too.
CONGRATS on the top9 🙂

Those look delicious! And simple for such a tasty treat! I am definitely going to try this one out!
I top pretty much everything with granola. I love it. Normally I make my own and it is not too much of a process but I am super jealous of your stash. Plus, I think that box is the best thing ever!
