Recommended Tools for the Best Grain Free Granola Recipe

  • Unsweetened Coconut Chips – these raw coconut chips are my go-to ingredient in nearly every grain-free recipe. They’re high quality, bursting with natural coconut flavor just as-is, and so friggin’ versatile!
  • Blanched Almond Flour – the #1 super secret ingredient to making grain free granola amazing. Almond flour keeps this granola grainless and it works with maple syrup to keep things sticky while baking, which in turn, results in BIG crunchy granola clusters!
  • My Favorite Nuts: Almonds, Walnuts and Pecans – imo, the perfect combo of nuts in almost any granola recipe!

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside for later.
  2. Add all ingredients to a large bowl. Using a rubber spatula, fold until clusters form and mixture is well mixed.
  3. Pour onto the prepared baking sheet. Using the rubber spatula, gently nudge granola into an even layer, making sure to keep clusters intact. Create empty pockets at regular intervals to let air through to crisp up the granola.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes. Using a heatproof spatula, gently flip granola, making sure to keep clusters intact. Bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until edges are a deep golden brown and granola is just slightly soft. Mine took a total of 20 minutes. Granola will crisp up while cooling.
  5. Place baking sheet on a cooling rack. Allow to cool for about 30 minutes, or until completely cooled. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.

  1. I tasted your granola as a friend made it and loved it. I used to make my own granola, but with oats. Saying that, can you add raisins, dried cranberries, or cherries?

    1. Hi Dionne! So happy you enjoyed the granola. Yep, you can definitely add in dried fruits to the granola. I recommend doing it after baking, so that the fruit doesn’t get overcooked and harden up in the oven.

  2. I changed this recipe up a little, I soaked and sprouted raw nuts and dehydrated them to get as much nutrition from the nuts as possible. I made the mix with 1/3 the amount of maple syrup and dehydrated it again (instead of baking) and it clumped just fine. It is delicious with less syrup ( I just try not to eat a lot of simple carbs) and worked just fine. Thanks for a great recipe!






  3. my daughter can not eat coconut in any form. What can you recommend as a replacement or which ingredient I can increase to make up for the coconut. Thanks so much.






  4. Absolutely no better way to start your day than a bowl of granola. Just starting to look into making my own. Thanks for sharing

  5. I loved this. I recently found out I had to cut oats of my diet as well as the gluten I had already cut and I was devastated because I eat overnight oats for breakfast every day. I was not psyched on finding replacements, but decided to give this a try. I made it with some add ins – chia seeds, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds. I also didn’t use almonds and subbed almond flour for flaxseed meal because I don’t eat almonds. Then in the mornings I eat it mixed in with peanut butter, apples, Bananas, and raisins/cranberries. It’s amazing! Way more delicious than I had dared hope for. Thank you!






  6. This is SOOOOO good. I better walk away from the pan because I keep reaching over and taking chunks out to eat. Thanks for the easy and delicious recipe. I didn’t have pecans, so I subbed in more almonds and sunflower seeds with some walnuts.






  7. I love granola, but have never tried grain free before. It turned out really delicious and crunchy. I loved the flavors. Such a healthy grab n go snack too!
