Filled with superfoods, healthy fats, whole grains, and fiber, this slightly-sweet Mulberry Chia Granola makes a delicious breakfast, snack, or dessert!
One of my favorite foods is oats. I won't go too deep into my love of oats because I already did that when I shared my Purple Pear Oatmeal recipe. I go through phases with my oat eating. Sometimes I'm all about the overnight oats. Other times all I want is hot, steamy oatmeal. When I'm feeling really crazy I eat oats dry (trust me, it's actually good).
Right now, I'm on a granola kick. There's just something about the crunch of granola that makes it so delicious. I have to pace myself though or I'll eat way too much and neglect to get in all the other nutrients I need for the day.
That doesn't mean this Mulberry Chia Granola isn't full of nutrients. In fact, it is stuffed with nutrients!
Oats provide gut-healing fiber. They are a great source of manganese, phosphorous, copper, and zinc. Oats also contain some B vitamins and essential amino acids.
As the name suggests, this granola has some delicious add-ins: mulberries and chia seeds.
Mulberries are a superfood with more vitamins and antioxidants than other dried fruits. Even if they didn't boast some superfood powers, they would still make a great addition to this granola due to their slightly-sweet taste and the fact that they are berries! We should all be eating a serving of berries a day and I couldn't think of a more delicious option.
Chia seeds are the other superstar of this granola. Chia seeds are a great source of Omega-3s which can aide in reducing blood pressure. These seeds are also filled with fiber, calcium, and several other essential nutrients.
The last ingredient in this Mulberry Chia Granola has date syrup. One of the only healthy sweeteners (because of its fiber content), date syrup creates a lovely crunchy granola texture. Yum!
To make Mulberry Chia Granola, simply mix the oats, mulberries (dried), chia seeds, and date syrup in a bowl. Then spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake!
Note that we are baking the mulberries in with the granola. I like to do this because it results in chunks of granola with mulberries inside. It also hardens the mulberries to a crisp texture. If you would rather have softer mulberries simply mix them in at the end.
Enjoy your superfood granola!
