4 Ingredient Healthy Homemade Gluten Free Vegan Granola Recipe (V, GF): a crispy homemade granola recipe made in just a few minutes of prep time, packed full of your favorite nuts and oats. Vegan, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Oil-Free.
Have you ever made homemade granola? Alright, I’ll concede that the word “homemade” is totally unnecessary in that last line. As you probably can’t make non-homemade granola.
Oh, but you know what I mean! Have you tried your hand at it?
It’s so much easier than one would think, totally satisfying (I mean, you made it from scratch!!! By yourself… dude.), and delightfully customizable. Kind of like this homemade oat flour. 😉 If you count customizing it as adding a few ingredients or so… and creating… Chewy Oatmeal Raisin COOKIES!! 🤨🤓
I’ve spent many a years trying many, manyyyyy homemade granola recipes across the internet. Some are made with a ton of oil, some with a ton of sugar, some without enough sugar, etc.
But I never quite found one that I truly, truly loved.
It wasn’t until my big breakthrough with Homemade Chunky Paleo Granola with Clusters, that I finally had a homemade vegan granola recipe that I LOVED. And part of that is thanks to my sister, Penny. She’s an even bigger granola fanatic than me. I’ve been making and sending vegan granola, gluten free granola, and all manner of healthy granola recipes (and not so healthy ones) to her for years.
And she always comes back at me with wonderfully helpful feedback: too sweet, not sweet enough, oat to nut ratio isn’t quite right, etc.
So this time around, with an oat-filled, nut-packed gluten free homemade granola, I HAD to meet all of her requirements! And I had to meet yours: easy to make, fewest amount of ingredients possible, sweet–but not too sweet, nutty–but not too nutty, and perfectly crispy.
Allow me to present to you my favorite oat-filled granola: my Healthy Homemade Gluten Free Vegan Granola Recipe! My favorite granola recipe of all time being my paleo granola, of course. 🙂 Not to worry, this recipe comes in at a close second. 😉

If you enjoyed this Healthy Homemade Gluten Free Vegan Granola Recipe, then you’ll just love these clean eating snack recipes: No Bake Oatmeal Raisin Granola Bars, 5 Ingredient Homemade KIND Nut Bars, Triple Berry Smoothie, Gluten Free Vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies.
- 1 ½ cups nuts, roughly chopped (almonds, pecans, walnuts, etc.)
- 1 cup gluten free rolled oats
- ½ cup finely ground, blanched almond flour*
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon salt (optional)
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside for later.
- Add all ingredients to a large bowl. Using a rubber spatula, fold until clusters form and mixture is well mixed.
- Pour onto the prepared baking sheet. Using the spatula, gently nudge granola into an even layer. Separate granola into small piles to create clusters. Make space between clusters to allow for air to flow through and crisp up the granola.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Using a heatproof spatula, gently flip granola, making sure to keep clusters intact. Bake for an additional 5-15 minutes, until edges are a deep golden brown and granola is just slightly soft. Mine took a total of 30 minutes. Granola will crisp up while cooling.
- Place baking sheet on a cooling rack. Allow to cool for about 30 minutes, or until completely cooled. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.

- Storage notes: Store in an airtight container for 1-2 months at room temperature.

This looks and sounds like a truly delicious granola, and lovely to see it isn’t packed with refined sugars; an all too easy mistake to make. Easy to make and perfect for a nutty, healthy breakfast.
Oh yes, this granola is soo good for breakfast! 😄 Glad you enjoy it Katherine!
I love both of these recipes for so many reasons! Thank you for sharing!
Woohoo! So happy to hear it Denise! ☺️
Granola is the best! I love it in my moring yogurt, I love it by the handful in the afternoon for a snack and it’s awesome on a scoop of ice cream! This sounds perfect.
I know, right? 😋 And I totally agree, granola + ice cream = the best treat ever! 😋
I love the texture of homemade granola in yogurt – this version sounds perfect for that – will be trying soon!
Oh yes, this would definitely be perfect for making your own parfaits at home. 😉 Hope you enjoy Lauren!
YUM-O!! This is my kind of granola. I love the bigger chunks and whole pecans!
Haha yes! Chunky granola is the best. 😋 And this recipe is packed with all the good stuff!
Can gluten-free rolled oats be easily found in the gluten-free section of grocery stores?
Hi Penny! Yes, you can usually find the GF rolled oats in the gluten free or health foods section of the grocery store. Hope this helps! 🙂
One of my favourite things to make is homemade granola, and this one looks absolutely delicious! Will have to try! 🙂
Right?! There’s something so satisfying and delish about it. 🙂
So easy and healthy! Making soon!
Oh yes!!! Enjoy!
I could snack on this all day long! It looks amazing!
You most definitely could!!!
I’m out of homemade granola now…perfect timing!! Can’t believe this doesn’t even use any oil, either! 🙂
Oh yeah!!! Hope you enjoy. 🙂
This sounds so yummy! I have all the ingredients on hand, might even add chia seeds! 😋
Thank you!! Oooh, this would be so good with chia seeds!
This is definitely my kind of granola!! It looks and sounds amazing!! I can’t wait to try this!
Yay!!! I can’t wait to hear what you think!
Can I sub with coconut flour?
Hi Amber, I wouldn’t recommend it. 🙁 Coconut flour is much more absorbent than almond flour. If you do, you’d have to drastically decrease the amount—which I’m not sure of. Good luck!
Yes, this is the perfect for me. I definitely want to try it. Thank you!
Woohoo!!! I hope you do and just love it!
I love homemade granola! Can’t wait to try this one and make a big batch!
It’s seriously the best! Can’t wait to hear what you think! 🙂
Granola is the BEST! I absolutely love everything about this. It’s healthy and delicious.
I couldn’t agree with you more Jacque! 😄 So glad you enjoy the recipe!
This sounds delicious. I love that it has no oil. I can’t wait to try it. I was wondering, have you ever added any dried fruit to it (raisins, apricots etc)? Would that work?
Thanks Karen! You can swap some of the nuts for chopped dried fruit. 🙂 Not sure how the bake time will affect the dried fruit though. Good luck!
This is so delicious. I recently had to eliminate gluten, corn, and dairy. I have really been missing crunchy snacks like crachers and chips. Having this granola on hand will keep me from feeling deprived or craving things that go crunch!!
Thanks for he kind words Debbie! I know how important it is to have crunchy snacks, so I’m so glad to hear you enjoy the granola!☺️
I made this recipe yesterday and my whole family (husband, picky eater teenage son and picky eater 10 year old son) loved it. Thanks for a great recipe : )
Woohoo! I’m so happy happy to hear the whole fam enjoyed it! ☺️
First time I ever added almond flour to my granola and I loved it! I used pumpkin pie spice and just a little cinnamon – tis the season for all things pumpkin! Thanks.
Isn’t it the best? I love how light it is! Such a yummy idea to add the pumpkin pie spice! ‘Tis the season indeed!
