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!

Grain Free Granola – Paleo Granola Recipe
Equipment
- Blanched Almond Flour, Finely Sifted
Ingredients
- ½ cup almonds, roughly chopped
- ½ cup walnuts, roughly chopped
- ½ cup pecans, roughly chopped
- 1 cup unsweetened raw coconut chips or flakes
- ½ cup finely ground blanched almond flour
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt, optional
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat 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 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.
- 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.
- Place baking sheet on a cooling rack. Allow to cool for about 30 minutes, or until completely cooled. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.

I love to add this granola to yogurt in the mornings. Such an easy, delicious recipe with the perfect amount of crunch.
You gotta have a good crunch when you’re eating granola! 😊
What a great recipe! Finally I could use all those walnuts I had in my pantry.
Haha that’s awesome! Nothing like finding a recipe to use an ingredient you’ve had waiting to be put to work. 😉
We love granola, and this grain free version looks delicious. I can’t wait to try it!
I know you’ll just love it Dannii!
I made a batch and use it over my Greek yogurt. What a treat!
Love it! This granola is soo good with yogurt. 😋
Oh my! That looks delicious! I love how chunky it is. I wish I could reach into the screen.
The big clusters are the best part. I wish I could send you some through my phone! 😂
In the oven right now! VERY highly recommend the tiniest sprinkle of coconut sugar just before you put it in the oven- turned out INCREDIBLE last time. Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe!
Ooh love it! So happy you’re enjoying the granola Josh, thanks for letting me know!
This is around the 10th time I’m making this recipe. It’s totally awesome, healthy and oh so easy! Thank you!
That’s awesome Barb! Thank you for taking the time to share these kind words with me! 😊
Made this for my son who is following a paleo diet but it is now a family favourite. Absolutely delicious and so moreish!!
Thank you for the recipe.
Hi Julie! Oh, I’m so thrilled to hear it! 🙂 Don’t you just love when a secretly paleo recipe is just as good as the “usual” stuff? 😉 Thank *you* for taking the time to let me know. Happy baking & eating!
BEST granola ever! Just made this this morning for the second time. Love it !
Woohoo!! I’m so glad you enjoyed my granola recipe, Vicky! 🙂 Happy eating!
Absolutely addictive! I am in love with this granola (and your healthy chunky granola too), I’m making another batch tomorrow. Thanks for sharing such awesome recipes..
That’s what I love to hear, Debbie! 🙂 Also over the moon that you’re Team Paleo Granola as well as Team Healthy Chunky! (Some folks prefer one over the other lol). Thank *you* for stopping by and baking with me. ..
I love this recipe. Thanks so much. I think having the almond meal coating it all is what really makes this shine. I have made it a few times now and have been able to adapt different nuts if i didn’t have all the right ingredients in the pantry.
It’s so wonderful to hear this, Leanne! The almond flour was a huge turning point in recipe testing for me—it acts like the glue without making the granola super dry (holds the moisture really well). So glad you’re enjoying it! Happy baking. 🙂
