Hemp Heart Granola

A chunk of granola with oats and hemp hearts.

Super soft and chewy, this hemp granola is like chunks of healthy cookies for breakfast! They are high in protein from the whole-wheat flour, almonds, and hemp hearts. I hope you love this as much as my family does!

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

2 cups whole-wheat flour
6 cups rolled oats
1 ½ cups chopped almonds
¾ cup hemp hearts
1 teaspoon sea salt or more to preference

Wet Ingredients

½ cup water
1 cup oil note below
1 cup honey

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 250 Fahrenhiet (120 C). In a large bowl, place the whole-wheat flour, rolled oats, chopped almonds, and hemp hearts. Stir together until everything is well-mixed.
In another bowl, whisk together the water, oil, and honey, then pour it over the oat mixture and stir until everything is combined. Spread the mix onto a large cookie sheet and press the granola into the corners.
Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes until it smells fragrant, and the oats start to turn golden. Let the mix cool in the pan and then break the granola into large chunks. Store in a sealed bag or container and eat within 1 month.

Notes

This does make a pretty good-sized amount, so if you have a small family, I recommend cutting the recipe in half.

I am pretty general with my measuring with this granola; it's very forgiving if you want to add more almonds or less honey.

Oil: I use melted coconut oil if I want a sweeter, fruity flavor. I use olive oil if I'm too lazy to melt coconut oil, and I'm okay with a more nutty flavor. Melted butter would work fine too!
