One of my favorite breakfasts and snacks is granola.  Over the years I’ve become quite fond of making my own granola and experimenting with various recipes.  But, in all the granola recipes I’ve made, I can’t recall a time I made a savory granola.

So, when I came across this recipe from Simple and Savory for this month’s Secret Recipe Club I knew exactly what I was going to make!  That’ didn’t, however, keep me from browsing through Anne’s delicious recipes and reading a few stories here and there.  Oh, my goodness, does she have a blog full of mouthwatering recipes: baked pasta with kale and sausage, slow cooker southwestern chicken soup, banana chocolate and walnut overnight oats, DIY sauerkraut, kale salad, and healthy almond joy bites just to name a few.

Like Anne, I sometimes crave a snack that is more on the savory than the sweet end of the spectrum.  So I was ecstatic to find a recipe for savory granola on her blog.  This is the perfect blend of sweet, salt and heat.

But, let’s get back to the recipe at hand. The savory granola.

I loved the variety of nuts Anne suggested and since I had them on hand I used that mix.  But, if you don’t have these nuts on hand or don’t care for some of them, then make this your own and use your favorites.  This recipe is totally customizable.

This granola is easy to make and perfect for snacking on while in between chores, on the run or while watching your favorite show.  The next time you get ready to make a batch of granola give this one a try, you’ll be addicted!
