This is no ordinary granola. It's the best granola you will ever eat. I know I'm partial, but Pie Crust Granola features crispy-crunchy cinnamon-sugar pie dough pieces. Need I say more? Delicious for breakfast, it also has the goodness of oats, pecans and dried sweetened cranberries with real maple syrup baked in. Once you try this easy, homemade pie crust granola, you won't want any other.

I am one of 30 bloggers chosen to participate in the Wick's Pies Recipe Challenge. Wick's Pies sent me several pie dough circles to create out of this world recipes. I feel like I knocked it out of the park in creativity and flavor with this Breakfast entry.

The addition of crispy pie dough pieces really does make this granola special. Plus, it's really easy to put this recipe together. Just brush the pie dough on both sides with egg white and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar. Slice the dough into bite-size pieces, toss in a bowl with the oats and a mixture of real maple syrup, canola oil and vanilla. Then, just bake it. While pecans, cranberries and flaked salt are my favorite additions YOU can mix-in any fruit, nuts and seasoning you like.

This pie crust granola is a great addition to a healthy breakfast. I love the flavor and texture it adds to a bowl of yogurt and fruit. Sprinkled on avocado toast it had me wanting more. I can't lie. I might have snacked on it all morning. That salty-sweet crunch is addictive.
