Love adding granola to your breakfast yogurt? Then you should definitely try my receipt! This sourdough discard granola has become one of my favorite recipes, because it’s extra crunchy and lightly sweet but also the sourdough discard adds a hint of flavor, which makes this granola stand out from the crowd.

This version is naturally sweetened and you can easily customize it. Just mix in your favorite nuts, seeds, and dried fruits to make it your own. Sprinkle over yogurt, enjoy with milk, or just snack straight from the jar (which, let’s be honest, is my favorite way!).

This sourdough discard granola is super easy to make.
