Granola therapy is needed this time of year. What is granola therapy?
It is the soothing act of:
mixing a bunch of ingredients
dumping said ingredients on a baking sheet
toasting them all til lightly browned
perfuming your house with sweet notes of oats & maple syrup
waiting for granola to cool
tasting bits of crispy coconut shreds laced with matcha
transferring granola to a jar
listening to every ingredient make its own symphony against glass
inhaling the bits that don’t make it into the jar
you repeat the process a whole bunch of times
and have a HUGE payoff for minimal work.
That’s granola therapy.
It’s forgiving.
Just don’t burn it.

It’s been a while since I’ve been wowed by a granola recipe. This Matcha Sesame Granola recipe is FANTASTIC! There’s a bit of matcha powder mixed in. You can taste it most in the toasted coconut. It adds a nice floral tea note to the mix. What I like most is the combination of things added. I’m a sucker for coconut in my granola and I LOOOOVE sesame seeds as well.

Making granola as gifts is a thoughtful gesture for your friends who simply cannot eat another cookie. You’re giving your loved ones the gift of a healthy breakfast and during this time of year, that’s GOLDEN.
Happy granola therapy to you! Make sure you save a bit for yourself too.
