Smart Snacks: Muffins & Granola the Healthy Way

Join Zoë in Cabrillo’s professional kitchen to prepare delicious and nourishing muffins and granola that you’ll feel great about eating and sharing! Muffins are delicious, but often they’re just cake disguised as a muffin. Granola is a crunchy treat any time, but often packed with sugar, and so expensive! Take matters into your own hands and bake up a batch of whole wheat zucchini muffins and high-protein banana muffins, both packed with flavor and made with better-for-you ingredients. Then prepare a crunchy, nutty, sweet granola full of nutrient-dense add-ins like whole grains, nuts, seeds, and natural sweeteners. Zoë will offer tips for customizing ingredients, maximizing flavor, and ensuring long-lasting freshness. Each recipe is designed to be nourishing, filling, and super easy to make at home—perfect for breakfast, snacks, or a quick bite on the go.
You will take home a box with four of each muffin, a generous batch of granola, and the recipes and skills to make more at home!
