Gluten Free Granola Recipe
Thes gluten free vegan granola is super easy to make with simple low carb, grain-free, and paleo ingredients. It is full of crunchy clusters and makes the perfect low carb, sugar-free breakfast or snack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 cups mixed raw nuts of your choice (macadamia, walnuts, pecans, shelled pistachios, cashews, for example)
- 1 cup mixed raw seeds of choice (sunflower, pumpkin, hemp seeds, flax seeds, for example)1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp extra virgin coconut oil (melted)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or keto maple syrup (I like Lakanto Maple Flavored Syrup since it’s keto)1/2 cup goji berries (or add fresh berries when serving)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of raw nuts, 1 cup of raw seeds, sliced almonds, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut oil with a sweetener of your choice and let it heat up for 1 minute.
- Pour the liquid mixture into the large bowl with the grain-free granola. Use a spatula to stir and combine it.
- Bake the granola for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through with a wooden spatula. The granola is ready when it is golden brown and crisp.
- Let it cool down for 15 minutes on the baking sheet then stir in the goji berries. Serve with fresh fruit, if desired.
- Transfer your cool granola into a glass preserving jar. Store it for up to 2 weeks.
