Homemade Fruity Granola

If you’re searching for a fun way to infuse some fruity flavor into a homemade granola, then this Homemade Fruity Granola is a fun recipe to try!

Earlier this year when General Mills asked me to come up with a handful of fun and exciting ways to use their new fruitier Trix cereal, I was excited. My kids love Trix, and we’ve had a blast creating some really unique recipes.

In case you missed any of the earlier Trix recipes, there was Fruity Trix Popcorn, Trix Yogurt Popsicles, and even Trix Pancakes. All of them are super yummy and bursting with bright fruity flavors!

Making homemade granola is actually a lot easier than you think, and with the prices of granola being kinda high, it can also be a penny saving recipe. Make a big batch on the weekend and have granola for the rest of the week!

You can eat the granola with milk, or my favorite, place it on top of a fruit and yogurt parfait!

To keep this granola out of the “sugar rush” zone I used coconut oil along with a little honey to stick it all together. To compliment the fruity flavors of the crushed Trix I added some shredded coconut and sliced almonds to the granola.

Feel free to add other healthy bits like chia seeds, flax seeds, sunflower seeds, or whatever your little granola-loving heart desires!

I think you’ll really enjoy this fun and fruity twist to your breakfast routine!
