John has come a long way since his days as strictly a meat and potatoes kind of guy. That said, I still try to find ways to make our meals healthier. Healthier doesn’t mean teenie portions or a meal that leaves you hungry.[Tweet “Honey Harvest Granola with Dried fruit is #healthy and tastes delicious! #cooking #foodie”]

Almost every morning I have yogurt topped with Vanilla Nut Granola for breakfast. I’ve found that if I just eat the yogurt I’m hungry after a couple of hours. Not so if I sprinkle some granola over the top. John doesn’t like raisins so I decided that I would make a granola that he would enjoy. This granola is so full of fall inspired dried fruits, seeds, and nuts that it will keep him satisfied all morning long.

  1. I also love yoghurt with granola for breakfast. I have a similar Nut Crunch recipe, but I’ve not used rolled oats in it… will need to try that! Thanks!

  2. Lovely site, and yummy recipes. I am following your blog and would like to know if you may be interested to be a Guest poster with us, and share some of your awesome recipes on our blog?

  3. Yogurt and granola is one of my favorite foods, period. I love this Julie, saved to try later! Have a good weekend 🙂

  4. How pretty, and I love all the flavors in there. I keep meaning to try making granola but it never quite happens – maybe finally!

    1. Thank you Caroline! I never used to make it but once I started reading labels, I just couldn’t buy it anymore and John will snack on it which is better than some of the other stuff like chips.

  5. I saw one of these pictures on your Instagram and just loved how you displayed the granola. So pretty! But even more, the granola looks fantastic. I can’t believe all the good stuff you incorporated into it. So healthy and yummy, too! Thanks for sharing your recipe, Julie!

    1. Thank you Shari! We never used to be big granola folks because of all of the sugar and calories. Store bought is so misleading. We always have a batch of it now days though.

  6. Julie,
    I like yogurt topped with granola and my husband does not like raisins either 🙂 Pinning this recipe!

    1. Soon my friend. 90’s this week in Omaha but in Colorado with highs around 70’s and nights at 40. Bliss!

  7. This granola recipe looks wonderful. I just pinned it! My family loves homemade granola, and it’s almost that time of year when I want to make it! Beautiful photos too!!!

    1. Thank you Jenny. I always have a batch and the neighbor kids and our guests love it. Thank you for sharing!

  8. I love granola and never take the time to make it. Your recipe is “chock full” of delicious and healthy ingredients.

    1. Thank you Judi! I just started making granola the last few years and we really enjoy a little and it’s nice to have when guests visit for snack and breakfast.

  9. Love homemade granola and with dried apples and figs, this one has my name all over it. Gorgeous photography Julie! Happy Labor Day.

  10. My granola jar is currently empty and waiting for my next batch of homemade. I just love all of the fruit in there, mixed in with the honey and spice. I had to google ‘pepitas’ and discovered they are pumpkin seeds, which is just perfect for the autumn. This is the recipe I’ll be filling that jar with.

    1. Thank you so much Jane! I need to put that pepitas are pumpkin seeds because I’m sure I did the same thing!

    1. Thank you Jessy! I can’t believe that summer is gone and that we’re already feeling fall breathing down our backs.

  11. I have yogurt and peaches topped with granola each morning for breakfast. I’ll definitely enjoy trying your version as we are heading into fall, it sounds great.
