    If you love matcha, this Japanese matcha-flavored granola is for you! Enjoy it over yogurt or mixing it with your favorite milk. You will love the crunchy texture with the aroma of matcha.

    Store-bought granola looks healthy, but it contains plenty of additives. It's made with simple ingredients, so I highly recommend making it on your own. Mix ingredients and bake them in the oven. It takes only 15 minutes!

    And why not try this matcha green tea granola?! Matcha adds nice green color and aroma. It's well known as a healthy ingredient too.

      This recipe is for you if:
    • You love matcha.
    • You want to make homemade granola.
    • You are looking for a matcha granola recipe.

    All right, let me show you how to make it. If you want to check the recipe, please jump to the recipe card below. Let's get started!

    📋 Ingredients

    Here are the ingredients (amounts are in the recipe card below).

    ingredient for matcha granola
    • Rolled oats: I recommend old-fashioned rolled oats because you can enjoy the texture.
    • Nuts: Almonds, walnuts, pecan nuts, cashew nuts, etc. You can pick whichever you like. I use almonds and walnuts in this recipe.
    • Maple syrup: Honey or agave syrup can be used as a substitute.
    • Oil: I use taihaku sesame oil, which is raw sesame oil and doesn't smell. You can use any oil that does not have a strong smell or flavor.
    • Salt: I use sea salt. Any salt is ok.
    • Matcha powder: We use matcha powder made from green tea only. Please note that some matcha powder contains sugar.
    • Dry fruits: Raisins, cranberries, goji berries, figs, dates, etc. You can pick whichever you like. I use raisins and cranberries in this recipe.

    🔪Instructions

    Let me walk you through how to make it step by step. You can also watch this video.

    how to make matcha granola

    First of all, preheat oven at 180C/356F.

    1. Nuts: Chop nuts into small pieces.
    2. Mix ingredients: Put ingredients except for dry fruits in a bowl and mix them.
    3. Bake: Place a silicone mat on a baking tray, spread the granola on it, and bake for 10 minutes at 180C/356F. (If your oven doesn't heat evenly, bake for 5 minutes, then rotate the baking tray 180 degrees and bake for the remaining 5 minutes. That will bake the granola more evenly without burning.)
    4. Dry fruits: Cool it down, transfer it to a container and add dry fruits and mix. (Close the lid tight and shake the container, then it's easy to mix.)

    Enjoy it over yogurt for breakfast or snacks! It will last at room temperature for a couple of months. (But I'm sure it will be gone within a couple of weeks!)

    By the way, if you omit the matcha powder, it will be plain granola.

    Making granola is so easy, and it's fun as you can arrange the ingredients. Enjoy the handmade matcha granola for breakfast and snacks.
