Vegan Granola

Great granola doesn’t need dairy, eggs, or honey to be downright delicious.

Our vegan granola is made entirely with thoughtfully chosen plant-based ingredients, from organic oats, nuts, seeds, and fruit to pure Vermont maple syrup. Every recipe is free from dairy and other animal-derived ingredients, making it easy to enjoy the golden crunch and satisfying flavor you love while staying true to a vegan lifestyle.

We keep our recipes simple, source with care, and never rely on fillers or shortcuts. Just organic, non-GMO ingredients baked fresh in Vermont by a close-knit team that believes food should feel as good to bring home as it does to eat.

All plants. All crunch. Nothing missing.

Why Choose Our Vegan Granola

When comparing vegan granola brands, the ingredient list tells the real story.

  • Made Without Animal-Derived Ingredients: Our recipes contain no dairy, eggs, honey, or other animal-derived ingredients.
  • Sweetened With Vermont Maple Syrup: Rather than honey, our lightly sweetened recipes use pure Vermont maple syrup for rich flavor and just the right touch of sweetness.
  • Organic, Thoughtfully Sourced Ingredients: Every blend begins with premium organic ingredients sourced from trusted suppliers.
  • No Dairy, Soy, or Added Salt: Simple recipes let the natural flavors and textures of oats, nuts, seeds, coconut, and fruit shine.
  • Fresh-Baked in Vermont: We know a thing or two about granola, and every batch is baked to golden, crunchy perfection.

What Makes Granola Vegan?

Although many classic granola ingredients come from plants, not every granola is vegan. Some recipes are sweetened with honey or made with butter, milk ingredients, egg whites, or chocolate containing dairy.

A truly vegan granola avoids all animal products and animal-derived ingredients. That means looking beyond oats, nuts, and seeds and paying attention to the sweeteners, binders, flavorings, and mix-ins used throughout the recipe.

At Back Roads, we use plant-based ingredients from beginning to end. Pure maple syrup provides sweetness without honey, while carefully balanced grains, nuts, seeds, coconut, and fruit create a satisfying flavor and crunch without dairy or eggs.

For people who follow a vegan diet, that complete commitment matters. Whether the choice is rooted in concern for animals, the environment, personal values, or a combination of motivations, our recipes make it easier to choose granola that fits the way you live.

Good To Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Is granola vegan?

Not always. Granola may contain honey, dairy, butter, egg whites, or other animal-derived ingredients. Always check the full ingredient list rather than assuming a granola is vegan because its main ingredients are plant-based.

Is Back Roads Granola vegan?

Yes. All of our granolas are made without dairy, eggs, honey, or other animal-derived ingredients.

What do you use instead of honey?

Our lightly sweetened recipes use pure Vermont maple syrup, a plant-based sweetener that adds rich flavor without relying on honey.

What is the difference between vegan and plant-based granola?

Vegan granola contains no animal products or animal-derived ingredients. “Plant-based” is sometimes used more broadly for products made primarily from plants, but it does not always mean that every ingredient is vegan.

What should I look for when choosing the best vegan granola?

Review the complete ingredient list for animal-derived ingredients such as honey, milk, butter, eggs, and dairy-based chocolate. You may also want to consider ingredient quality, sweetness, sourcing, and how the granola is made.
