Trader Joe’s “Just The Clusters” MAPLE PECAN GRANOLA

“Inside this bag you will find captivatingly crunchy, satisfyingly sweet clusters of rolled oats and pecans, with notes of maple syrup and honey”

If you are a fan of the large clumps you find in your granola, you will like this one which is basically “only the clusters”. Trader Joe’s “Just The Clusters” Maple Pecan Granola gives you lots and lots of those big crunchy clumps. I especially like it for all those crunchy clusters, made even crunchier than other granolas with rice flour added in. It has pecans in it, a fair amount if not loaded with them. I guess at this price (3.29) they can’t put a ton of them in there but there are quite a few very tasty roasted pieces of pecans, and the maple flavor of this granola is tasty. As per the Nutrition Label, I wish it didn’t have quite the amount of Added Sugars it says but I really don’t eat a whole bowl of this, or even the 2/3 cups they use as the serving size. What I use this for really is as a nice topping to add crunch on top of my breakfast yogurt bowl, usually something like chia seeds, mixed with yogurt and kefir and fruits (banana, apples, berries…) This would equally be great on top of oatmeal or overnight oats for a little crunch. You could even eat some as a snack, in moderate amounts. It’s $3.29 for a one pound bag. No weird ingredients, all pretty natural as you can see….
