Carrot Cake Granola

Our carrot cake granola takes 2 classics and combines them for a yummy, energy packed treat. Granola (a classic energy mix loved by hikers, campers and anyone wanting an easy on-the-go snack) and carrot cake (love by dessert aficionados everywhere) make for a unique, but tasty snack that you'll start carrying everywhere. Keep a little baggie in your car, one in your laptop bag, some for work, and don't forget your gym bag!

It's got a few more ingredients than some other recipes, but once you put it all together, BOOM! A jar full of carrot cake granola that will have hands in it all week long...or, at least until it's gone. Which might be pretty quick because it's really good 😉 It features pumpkin spice MuscleEgg and loads of flavor. This is one you don't want to miss!
