FALL GRANOLA
My Autumn obsession is in full force now that my favorite home decor stores are starting to put out merchandise. Can you believe it’s almost that spooky time of year again?! I am so excited and ready for everything! If we’re going to be honest though, I’ve been ready for Fall for a long LONG time now haha. At this moment, my home is already decorated…. so……. JUDGE ME.
It’s also so much fun to see my favorite Halloween and Fall accounts on Instagram. I love seeing their posts on my feed with updates almost daily now with upcoming merchandise and events. Thank you guys for constantly inspiring me and celebrating this season year round!
Aside from all the festivities, one of the things that I think makes Autumn so special are all the delicious staple flavors. I thought it’d be fun to make a simple recipe that will not only take your palette straight to harvest season, but is also delicious and nourishing for your body. This recipe is vegan, gluten free, refined sugar free, oil free, and has great sources of fiber, manganese, vitamin A, vitamin E, and copper. It will also leave your home filled with a plethora of scents that we can only describe as Fall. Let’s get started!
