A true granola genius doesn’t merely concern himself with flavor. A symphonious symbiosis of texture, aroma, and mouthfeel elevate a simple baked good to culinary marvel.
Many years ago, Uncle Crumbles had the stroke of genius to stick to all‑natural sweeteners because they add more than just sweetness. They bind clusters, keep granola fresh, and add flavor complexity that artificial sweeteners simply can’t replicate. Plus, each type of natural sweetener behaves differently when baked, cooled, or stored, making our blends both a science experiment and a craft.
Sweet Science by Granola Flavor
Brainberry
Crafted with cane sugar and freeze-dried blueberries, this combo offers sweetness while helping provide crunchiness and shine to our granola clusters.
Cinna‑Maple Crunch
A multi-sweet symphony: cane sugar, invert cane syrup, brown rice syrup, white chips, and maple syrup. Each natural sweetener contributes unique clustering properties and texture: invert syrup promotes sweetness and clustering; maple brings aromatic, warm sweetness.
Cran‑Maple Crunch
Cane sugar, dried cranberries, invert cane syrup, and maple syrup together all-natural sweetness and keeps clusters delightfully functional and flavorful.
Dark Chocolate Sea Salt
A richer approach: cane sugar, honey, dark chocolate chips, and brown rice syrup. Honey lends a silky mouthfeel and subtle floral nuance, while still being an all-natural added sugar to enjoy mindfully.
Sugar Cookie Granola
Layered sweetness from cane sugar, brown rice syrup, naturally sweetened sprinkles, and vanilla extract—ideal for that melt-in-your-mouth cookie sensation.
Why Uncle Crumbles Doesn’t Use Artificial Sweeteners
Artificial alternatives may reduce calories, but they often come with metabolic mysteries and rarely offer real nutritional value. Uncle Crumbles values all that is real, natural, and invigorating in his granola recipes; that’s true granola genius, after all. Real sweetness from natural sources like cane sugar, honey, and syrup give you flavor, texture, and craveable crunch.
