Is it just me, or is matcha fitting in absolutely everything? Besides it's extensive benefits, the flavor it embodies pairs perfectly with other flavors, such as coconut, cinnamon, and vanilla. For this recipe, I decided matcha and vanilla would be the perfect combination. Guess what... I was right. This granola is super simple, packed with hearty nuts and seeds, and is derived from nutrient dense ingredients. Such ingredients include: gluten free rolled oats, chopped cashews, unrefined coconut oil, flaxseed meal, hemp seeds, ceremonial grade matcha, pure maple syrup, and more. It makes the perfect addition to any smoothie bowl, oatmeal, yogurt bowl, cereal, or snack! Plus, this recipe is gluten free, vegan, and refined sugar free.
