I love granola. It is great plain, with almond milk, over cashew yogurt, or mixed with fruit. It is my favorite quick and easy breakfast food.

I usually buy granola at the store. Unfortunately, it has so much extra sugar and it’s loaded with preservatives.

Yesterday I decided to make my own granola. I could almost kick myself. It is the easiest thing to make. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Not only do you know exactly what goes into it, it makes your house smell amazing! 🤤

I actually combined elements that I liked from several different recipes. Then I crossed my fingers it would work out.


It ended up being delicious. It is vegan and gluten free! I couldn’t wait to wake up this morning and eat it for breakfast! Check it out and let me know what you think!

Ingredients

3 cups old fashioned oats

1 1/2 cups roughly chopped nuts of your choice (I used half pecans and half almonds but you could also use walnuts or cashews)

1/2 cup flaked coconut

1/2 cup gluten free flour (I used Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Baking Flour)

1/2 tsp salt

1 tbsp cinnamon

1 tbsp vanilla

1/2 cup maple syrup

3/4 cup melted coconut oil

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

• Mix the oats, nuts, coconut, gluten free flour, salt, and cinnamon together.

• Mix the vanilla, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil together.

• Combine the dry and wet ingredients together until fully combined.

• Spread the mixture evenly onto 2 unlined baking sheets in a single, even layer.

• Bake for 40 minutes. Stir at the halfway point.

• Remove from oven and allow to cool on baking sheets.

• Once cooled store in a sealed container.
