TIMONIUM'S MICHELE

Michele’s Granola Welcomes the Holiday Season with Cranberry Pecan Granola

Michele’s Granola of Timonium has announced the seasonal return of its Cranberry Pecan Granola, a wintertime customer favorite since Michele launched the variety in the bulk bins at her local farmers market stand in 2010.

In response to customer calls, emails and in-person pleas, Michele’s Granola first packaged this winter seasonal granola for broader distribution in 2013. Cranberry Pecan Granola earned a loyal following of fans who look forward to buying and gifting the granola, not only because of its remarkable flavor and quality ingredients, but also for the festive winter-themed packaging, on which the “Michele” icon dons a scarf and earmuffs.

Every handmade batch of Cranberry Pecan Granola features the crispy, golden clusters of organic gluten-free oats that are a hallmark of Michele’s Granola. The brand is also well known for the high ratio of mix-ins, and this recipe is packed with pecan halves, pistachios, cinnamon and dried cranberries. As with all Michele’s varieties, this granola is made by hand with simple quality ingredients.

More than a decade after it was first packaged, Cranberry Pecan continues to be a sought-after holiday variety, with a customer in Ohio writing the company, “I’m not usually prone to hyperbole, but (Michele’s Cranberry Pecan Granola) is literally the best granola I have had in my life.”

The granola is available now through early 2025 at michelesgranola dot com in 12-ounce and 2.25-pound bulk sizes. Whole Foods Market and other independent retailers will feature the seasonal granola nationwide beginning in mid-November through sell-out in December.
