Sprinkles make everything better.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just ask my 3 year old daughter. Sprinkles, rainbows, glitter and unicorns should be everywhere! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t agree with her entirely, but I do love sprinkles. They take something simple and quickly make it fun and festive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve been on a roll with sprinkles at our house lately, so I figured, why not add it to granola? My kids loved it! My daughter would eat half the pan of this granola if I let her (…and I would be right there eating the other half!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Funfetti Granola is filled with healthy ingredients like oat and nuts, and it’s naturally sweetened with honey <\/strong>(or maple syrup). Extra vanilla extract, almond extract, and a little cashew butter<\/strong> help to seal the deal by bringing in the Funfetti\/cake batter flavor. And sprinkles of course! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re looking for a healthy snack for your kids, this is it. They’ll love the sprinkles and crunchy chunks of granola! It’s a great yogurt topping or just throw a handful in a bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, it’s super quick and easy to make. If you’ve never made homemade granola, I’m telling you, you have GOTTA try it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Process<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Let’s talk granola.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For this recipe you’ll need to use rolled oats. To make this Funfetti Granola gluten-free,<\/strong> be sure to use certified gluten-free rolled oats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this granola to be dairy-free,<\/strong> you’ll need to use coconut oil (or another neutral oil, like olive or canola).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make sure this granola is vegan,<\/strong> simply use a dairy-free oil and maple syrup. Look out for vegan sprinkles too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Questions you may have…<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I don’t have rolled oats, can I use quick-cooking oats?<\/strong> I wouldn’t recommend it. The texture just won’t be the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can’t eat nuts, what could I use instead? <\/strong>To keep this nut-free, instead of 2 cups of oats and 2 cups of nuts, you can do 4 cups of oats total. You can also omit the cashew butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t have coconut oil?<\/strong> Try another oil (olive oil, canola) or in a pinch you could use butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t have almond extract<\/a>, is that okay?<\/strong> Yes. Granted, the granola will be more of a vanilla-flavored granola. I think the touch of almond extract in this Funfetti Granola in particular really gives it extra funfetti flavor. You could also use cake batter extract<\/a> instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do I have to use cashew butter?<\/strong> No. I think cashew helps to add a bit of Funfetti flavor to the granola. It tastes a bit like dough or cake batter. If you don’t have cashew butter, just omit it. I would not recommend substituting other nut butters in it’s place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the best sprinkles to use?<\/strong> Rainbow jimmy sprinkles<\/a>. You can use classic sprinkles or more naturally colored sprinkles<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
