Sourdough Granola

I just love having sourdough granola on hand in my kitchen. It makes for a perfect quick healthy breakfast! Lets also not forget about those days when you’re looking for a quick snack, this granola recipe is sure to satisfy.

Why you will love this recipe

I am always looking for ways to use up my sourdough discard. Since I make bread every week, there is always discard lingering in my fridge. The sourdough granola recipe is perfect for using it up!

The sourdough starter gives this recipe an extra tang. If you would like to neutralize the tang a little, use a freshly fed starter.

Whats wonderful about this recipe. is that it is wholesome! There is only good stuff in this granola. Making it yourself avoids store bought granola’s that have all the extra “stuff” that your body does not need.

This recipe is extremely adaptable, use your favorite type of nuts, or add dry fruit after baking if you’d like! Whatever your heart desires.

Making this recipe yourself is also cheaper and more cost effective than purchasing it already made from a store. Oh! And healthier!

Ingredients for Sourdough Granola

• Nuts
• Rolled oats
• Shredded coconut
• Salt
• Honey
• Sourdough Discard
• Olive Oil
• Chocolate chips (optional)

Step by step instructions for making Sourdough Granola

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Mixing the dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the nuts, oats, salt, and shredded coconut.

Mixing the wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, combine the sourdough starter, olive oil, and honey.

Combine Ingredients

Mix the wet ingredients and the dry ingredients. Mix well and make sure all the ingredients are well incorporated. All of the ingredients should be covered in the oil mixture.

Preparing the Ingredients

Spread the mixture onto a baking pan and line with parchment paper. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to spread and press the granola down onto the pan.

Bake the Sourdough Granola

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and bake for 30 minutes.

Once finished baking, allow the granola to bake completely. You can add dried fruit right after baking. I like to add chocolate chips to my sourdough granola, and I have to wait until it is completely cooled.

Storing the Sourdough Granola

Break up your granola as small or large as you like.

Store your granola in an air tight container. I like to store mine in a half gallon mason jar. The granola will last a long time this way. But granola in my house usually goes fast!

My family mostly enjoys this recipe in our homemade raw milk yogurt. You can also enjoy it with milk, or even as a little snack all by itself! It is delicious either way.
