Gluten Free Chai Spice Granola Recipe (V, GF): a super easy, 1-bowl recipe for crunchy granola bursting with your favorite fall spices and nuts! Made with healthy ingredients. Vegan, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Whole Grain.
Okay, one last super fall-ish post before all the Thanksgiving madness begins! I’ve been getting so many requests for a chai spice treat this year… and one recipe came to mind as just the perfect thing:
CHAI SPICE GRANOLA!!
For some reason that needed to be in caps. 😉 Perhaps as an ode to the delightfully present spices in this recipe? Anyway, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I have kind of a thing for homemade granola. See the following vegan gluten free healthy homemade granola & granola bar recipes:
- Homemade Chunky Paleo Granola with Clusters
- 4 Ingredient Healthy Homemade Gluten Free Vegan Granola Recipe
- Oil-Free Paleo Cinnamon Nut Granola
- 3 Ingredient No Bake Gluten Free Peanut Butter Granola Bars
Quite honestly, there would be even more on the blog, if not for the fact that my first couple of forays into homemade granola weren’t so… lackluster. Yep, we’re calling ourselves out today, folks!
In past granola posts, I’ve mentioned one big influencer of all my granola recipes: my sister, Penny. Thing is, she’s a bit of a granola connoisseur. Haha. That is SO totally a thing. She loves her granola, will have it in any number of flavors, and is absolutely the best judge of things like: crunch factor, chunkiness, assortment of add-ins, and more.
She’s the inspiration behind all of my granola recipes, and most definitely one of BB’s biggest supporters (just thought I’d throw that in there lol). So here’s a seasonally festive, crunchy, and chunky . tribute to my sis: my Gluten Free Chai Spice Granola Recipe.
I hope you love the level of spice and crunch in this vegan granola. 😉 Here are all the reasons you should try it! This Gluten Free Chai Spice Granola Recipe is:

Gluten Free Chai Spice Granola Recipe (Vegan, Healthy, Dairy-Free, Refined Sugar-Free)
Ingredients
- 3 cups nuts, roughly chopped (almonds, pecans, walnuts, etc.)
- 2 cups gluten free rolled oats
- 1 cup finely ground, blanched almond flour*
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/8 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon salt, optional
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
Instructions
- 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 15 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. Be careful not to burn the granola. Mine took a total of 22 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.Adapted from my 4 Ingredient Healthy Homemade Granola (V + GF).Also try my favorite Homemade Chunky Paleo Granola (so good) and my 5 Ingredient Homemade KIND Nut Bars.
Notes
- Storage notes: Store in an airtight container for 1-2 months at room temperature.

Is it okay if I put honey instead of the maple syrup cause I don’t have any?
Hi NJ! I haven’t tried it myself, but it should work fine. Let me know how it turns out!
Hi! Will definitely make this! Question: I have a chai spice mixture that’s several years old. Could I use this or do dry spices have a shelf life? Thanks!
Hi Cindy! Spices don’t really go bad, but they will lose their flavor as time goes on, which means the recipe might not taste quite right. Ground spices generally stay fresh for about 3-4 years. Hope this helps!
Thank-you! Will let you know how it turns out.
As a huge granola fan I can’t have enough inspirations for these high fiber breakfast options. I love all of the chai spices except for the black pepper. But I can imagine that exactly the subtle spiciness of black pepper in contrast to the sweeter cinnamon, cardamom and cloves will turn the composition into a deep flavor experience.
Breakfast inspo is the best!!! Hope you get to try, with or without the black pepper. 🙂
I love granola and your chai spice version looks so delicious! I love the big chunky pecans and nuts and how crispy and delicious everything looks.
That’s so wonderful to hear!! Hope you enjoy this just as much. 🙂
I love making my own granola and haven’t done so all year! I absolutely love the chai spices in this recipe and this makes it perfect for fall!
There’s nothing quite like homemade!!
This will be the perfect addition to my morning oatmeal! Love the addition of chai!
Oh totally! That sounds so good!
I love anything with chai! I could eat this granola by the spoonful!
Right?!? Sooo good!
