Oatmeal Raisin Vegan Granola Recipe: super CHUNKY, big cluster homemade vegan granola with juicy raisins and fiber-rich oats! Gluten Free, Healthy, Dairy-Free.
So lately Erik and I’ve been thinking about where we’re going to be moving in a few years. (I know. We just moved and we’re talking about where to go again!!) The thing is, we’re kinda tired of renting and thinking about the next big, adult step we’re gonna make…
And that adult step entails buying a house.
Say whaaaa?!? I know, I just wrote that down for the first time. Ever. And it’s giving me a mini heart attack right now. But even still, I think we’re ready. Ahhhh!!
If I’m being boldly honest with you, we moved to Minnesota so we could start looking for an affordable, nice and less high-paced way of life. We were so tired of the fast-paced, super stressful lifestyle in Boston, San Francisco and the other big cities we lived in. So Minneapolis was our transition place.
Now, we’re thinking a couple years down the road, we might move further out from Minneapolis (yep, still a big city) and head to somewhere quieter to look for a place to live. If you’re familiar with Minnesota, do you have any suggestions?
In the meantime, let’s talk about something a little lighter and something that requires just a little less planning. Hehe! Drumroll please: Oatmeal Raisin Vegan Granola!
Oatmeal Raisin Vegan Granola Recipe
Who’s been totally feeling this vegan granola kick we’ve been on lately? I’ve been having so much fun remixing my Healthy Chunky Granola Recipe with different kinds of add-ins like dried fruit and cinnamon, that I thought I’d share this one with you.
Super CHUNKY Vegan Granola!
As you know, this oatmeal raisin vegan granola recipe is based off of my super duper, insanely CHUNKY vegan granola… Healthy Chunky Granola Recipe (Vegan, Gluten Free). As such, it boasts super big, like sheet-big chunks of vegan granola clusters. You basically bake the vegan granola mixture in a sheet, then break up that sheet into as many (or as few) gigantic chunks of granola as you’d like. YES!! Feel free to eat the sheets as-is! You do you.
How to Store Oatmeal Raisin Vegan Granola Recipe
Storing this vegan granola recipe is super easy! Simply cool granola completely and store in an airtight container for 1 month. Yep, this oatmeal raisin granola stays good for that long!

Oatmeal Raisin Vegan Granola Recipe
- Total Time: 50 minutes
- Yield: about 21 ¼ cup-servings (approx. 5 ¼ cups) 1x
Description
Oatmeal Raisin Vegan Granola Recipe: super CHUNKY, big cluster homemade vegan granola with juicy raisins and fiber-rich oats! Gluten Free, Healthy, Dairy-Free.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups nuts, roughly chopped
- 1 cup unsweetened, raw coconut chips
- ½ cup gluten free rolled oats
- ¼ cup golden ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon salt (optional)
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
Fold-in Ingredients
- ¾ cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a medium or large baking sheet with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside for later.
- Add all ingredients except coconut oil and maple syrup to a large bowl. Stir until well mixed.
- Add coconut oil and maple syrup. Using a rubber spatula, stir and fold until well mixed.
- Pour mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a rubber spatula, press down and pack the granola mixture together to create an even, flat, and very tightly-packed layer, about ½ inch thick. Your granola may not cover the entire baking sheet. Now, nudge the sheet of granola apart in the center (dividing the tightly-packed layer in half), to let air through.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Rotate baking sheet. Bake for 18-22 more minutes, until granola is a deep golden brown. Mine took 40 minutes total. Do not flip or move granola—it is fragile and needs to crisp up while cooling.
- Place baking sheet on a cooling rack. Allow to cool for about 30 minutes, or until completely cooled and firm. Break sheets of granola into clusters. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.

Made this to drop off to my mom, it was the next best thing to giving her a hug! She can’t stop eating it. Thank you for this simple recipe!!

Demeter | Beaming Baker says
Aww… Patty, you’ve nearly made my heart melt! <3 Just the sweet visual of you dropping off a homemade treat in lieu of a hug to your mom is making me teary eyed. So glad you both enjoyed my recipe. 🙂 Stay safe, healthy & happy. Hugs!

Im going to make it today or tomorrow. In the meantime ive no idea about usa but id expect homebuying to feel the same regardless. I had about a year of constant nini hearattacks and then I figured out bills get paid no one died and all is good :p Theres something terryfying about the obscene amount of money one needs to spend. It gets easier with time. My current renovation is halted as we are in a lockdown but on the bright side I ve been cooking every day and the granola is next. FYI your oatmeal breakfast cookies are divine and been a part of my life for a couple of years if not more. My waist wont be thanking you since i ve no self restraint :p
Demeter | Beaming Baker says
Thank you so much for your feedback on home buying as well as your freaking fantastic sense of humor! I seriously laughed out loud several times while reading your comment. 😀 Erik and I’ve been prepping ourselves for the constant-min-heart-attack that apparently home-buying and homeownership is. Wish us luck! Haha. I’m glad that you’ve at least been able to enjoy some tasty homemade treats. 😉 I’m beyond pleased that you’ve been loving my oatmeal breakfast cookies! Can’t wait to hear what you think of the granola. Hugs!

Hey there, it’s so weird but when ever you mention that you and Eric are thinking about places to live I reflect back on places I’ve lived. I’m settled now, after many years away, back in Sonoma County (northern California ) where I grew up. I never thought I would, but I’m very happy I did. Anyways, one of the places I lived and bought my first house was on Whidbey Island, north of Seattle. It’s shapped like a banana, the south end is reachable by a 20 minute ferry. It’s a very beautiful area, quite a liberal and organic community on the south end and fairly inexpensive. I worked in a cute tiny village of about 900 people call Langley. I think you guys would enjoy it, my hubby and I moved because of the weather, I’m a sun kid, but for most it’s no biggie. Okay, now that I’ve written you a novel, I’ll shut up!!😊
Demeter | Beaming Baker says
Hi Heidi! You know what it is? There’s just something about the topic of wanderlust that is SO infectious. Lol. One person talks about it and another begins. 😉 I’m so glad to hear that you’re happily settled. 🙂 Just so you know, you now have me missing NorCal, where I grew up as well. Oh wow, Whidbey Island sounds incredible!! Erik and I’ve talked about Seattle quite a bit, but we were worried that the constant rain might get us down (I know, Minneapolis is not sunny walk in the park either haha). You’ve certainly got us thinking… Always feel free to write me a novel–you know I can always write one back! 😉

Jenn says
I’ve become something of a granola snob, so when I saw this recipe that promised big clusters of crispy granola, I knew I had to try it! Fortunately I had everything on hand to make this dish, and let me tell you, it’s a winner! SO much flavor, plenty of crunchy clusters, and of course, it is vegan which is just what I need. A winner for sure1
