While we often think of granola as a breakfast topping for yogurt, it’s one of those foods that’s extremely versatile that can add a nice crunch to sweet and savory meals. Go beyond the first meal of the day, by adding granola to these dishes throughout the day. We bet you haven’t had granola quite like this before.
Sprinkle It Over Soup
Instead of adding breadcrumbs to get a crunch to your soup, put granola into the mix. Right before serving, top vegetable-based soups with granola.
Add It to Salads
Carrots, radishes, and nuts aren’t the only way to add crunch to your salad—granola does the trick even better. When you finish making your salad, toss some granola in.
Trade Breadcrumbs for Granola
When you don’t have breadcrumbs, use granola instead. Just smash a handful in a bag with a spoon to get a crumb-like consistency and coat fish or chicken with the crumbs.
Top Casseroles
Make your casserole extra crispy by adding granola on top before you bake it. It’s especially great on sweet potato casserole.
Toss it Into Baked Goods
Add a handful of granola to your cookie, muffin, or pancake batter for some extra crunch.
