Upgrade your snack game with this healthy Gluten Free Granola! It's simple, vegan, and made with a handful of ingredients. It's great on top of yogurt bowls, smoothies, or just enjoy the crunchy clusters as is.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups gluten free certified oats (rolled or old fashioned will work)
  • 1/2 cup raw nuts- I use a mix of cashews and almonds
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup hemp seeds (substitute with flax or chia seeds)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries (substitute with raisins or chopped dates or apricots)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
  2. Place oats, nuts, coconut, hemp seeds, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon into a food processer. Pulse a few times to chop the nuts, but don't pulse too much because you still want chunks
  3. Transfer the mixture onto your parchment lined baking sheet and place into the oven. Bake for 10 minutes, then pull the tray out, give it a stir, and lightly press the mixture together before placing back into the oven
  4. Bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown and you begin to smell the granola
  5. Carefully pull the tray out of the oven and allow it to cool completely before mixing in the dried cranberries
  6. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 2 weeks

Notes

  • Make this with gluten free certified oats for safe measure
  • Substitute the nuts with seeds if you have a nut allergy and leave out the coconut
  • If you substitute the maple syrup with honey this granola won't be vegan
  • Bake the granola on parchment paper so the syrup sticks to the oats rather than the baking sheet
  • Press the mixture together lightly with a spatula to help it form big clusters
  • Take it out of the oven once the top is lightly golden brown, it will continue to harden as it cools
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks or freeze for 3 months
