I wanted to make some granola that did not have any oats or other grains in it. Here it is: Grain-Free Granola. This granola recipe is so easy to make. My kids enjoy this for breakfast with some homemade hazelnut milk.

What do I need to make grain-free granola?

Grain-free Granola Ingredients | melissatorio.com

We’ll be using nuts and seeds for this granola. Nuts are a great snack, with healthy fats and protein. I used almonds and hazelnuts. The seeds are pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and hemp seeds.

To make this nut-free: substitute more seeds instead of nuts.

Coconut sugar and maple syrup are the natural sweeteners.

This granola recipe uses coconut in 3 forms: coconut flakes, coconut oil and coconut sugar.

How do I make grain-free granola?

Pre-heat the oven to 300ºF. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.

Roughly chop the nuts in a food processor or blender. I used my Magic Bullet.

In a large mixing bowl, add the chopped nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, coconut sugar, cinnamon and sea salt. Set aside.

In another bowl, add melted coconut oil. Stir in the maple syrup and vanilla.

Pour the oil mixture into the granola mixing bowl. Mix everything together until the granola is covered evenly with the oil syrup mixture.

Distribute the granola mixture onto the baking sheets. Spread evenly.

Place the baking sheets on the middle rack in the oven.

Bake for 30 minutes. After 20 minutes, open the oven, stir or mix the granola around the sheets.

Remove from the oven and let cool. The granola should harden after cooling.

Once cool, add the chopped dried cranberries, if desired.

Store in airtight jars or containers.
