This almond & vanilla spelt granola is a deliciously crunchy and wholesome way to start your day. Made with toasted oats, crunchy almonds, and a hint of vanilla, it’s naturally sweetened and packed with flavour. Perfect for sprinkling over yogurt, enjoying with plant-based milk, or as a grab-and-go snack. Homemade and free from unnecessary additives, this granola is a healthier alternative to store-bought alternatives.

Crunchy Almond Vanilla Spelt Granola – A Delicious & Healthy Start

This almond & vanilla spelt granola contains only 3 Tbsp of agave syrup so it is not overwhelmingly sweet. Ideal for breakfast or snack with milk.

I love making my own granola. I use less fat, less sugar and less salt than storebought brands so I end up with a much healthier breakfast.   yoghurt or fresh fruits.

Also baking it in the oven leaves the whole house smelling lovely.

Spelt makes a nice change from oatmeal in this Almond & Vanilla Granola. It is one of the most ancient crops, packed with nutrients (plus fibre and protein).

This recipe is interchangeable so you can roll oats instead of spelt and honey or maple syrup instead of agave syrup.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Deliciously Crunchy – The perfect blend of toasted oats and crunchy almonds for a satisfying texture.
  • Natural Sweetness – Sweetened with maple syrup and vanilla, it’s a healthier alternative to sugary cereals.
  • Versatile – Enjoy it with yogurt, plant-based milk, or as a tasty snack on its own.
