Sprinkle it over yoghurt for breakfast or eat it straight out of the pack as a snack. What better way to support local than with your next granola purchase?

Baked in the oven until perfectly golden-brown and crisp, granola is a healthy breakfast favourite. From Kintry's locally-inspired pandan Gula Melaka granola to Dee Snacks’ plant-based offerings and Granos’ customisable granola, these unique granola brands are proudly from Malaysia.

Short for Kindred Pantry, Kintry was founded by Michelle Chai who started baking in 2017 as a way to overcome her daughter's allergies. Pandan Gula Melaka, Salted Butter Caramel and Chocolate Hazelnut are just three of the delightful granola flavours available—all are encased in charming packaging that celebrates Chai's Malaysian heritage. Also available for purchase from Kintry are other snacks, such as macadamia cookies and salted egg yolk potato crisps.

5. Granos

The first customisable granola brand in Asia, Granos began as a passion project by partners Vivienne Len and Jiunn Hung Tan, both avid lovers of cooking and baking. After receiving requests from families and friends to replace or omit certain ingredients in their homemade granola, they realised there was no one-size-fits-all for healthy eating and decided to start producing customisable granola. Their ingredients are lightly coated with natural sweeteners or roasted without additives, which gives their granola low-sugar content.
