Delicious DIY Carnival Cruise Granola Recipe

Have you ever wondered how to recreate the Carnival Cruise granola recipe at home?

Last week, we showed you how to make Carnival’s Warm Chocolate Melting Cake. This week, we pivot to a treat you can enjoy for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

The onboard version served in the main dining room inspires this granola recipe, which makes a perfect breakfast or snack.

Whether you’re topping your yogurt or enjoying it on its own, this simple recipe brings a taste of your cruise vacation right to your kitchen.

We make this recipe before hiking for protein or snacking on road trips. Note that everyone’s version is a little different depending on your taste.
