Spiced Granola
Fall has a way of slowing us down in the best way. It’s the season for golden light, crisp air, and warm spices that feel like a hug from the inside out.
This Spiced Granola is the perfect fall staple. It’s crunchy, salty-sweet, and layered with texture thanks to oats, hemp hearts, coconut, nuts, and sunflower seeds. The real magic? Creamy tahini and pumpkin pie spice—comforting, mineral-rich, and seed cycling-friendly for the second half of your cycle.
Low and slow is the name of the game here. This granola turns golden and fragrant in the oven, filling your space with the scent of toasted nuts and spice. Enjoy it on top of smoothies, coconut yogurt, or by the handful as a nourishing snack. Add-ins like cacao nibs or goji berries take it up another notch, but it’s flavorful enough to enjoy as-is.
So as we hold onto fall just a little longer, make this granola part of your seasonal ritual.
Your taste buds—and your hormones—will thank you.
