    This grain-free granola is excellent on parfaits, with cold milk, and on its own as a snack. It's Paleo and SIBO-friendly and is free of refined sugars.

    This Grain-Free Granola is excellent on parfaits, drenched with cold milk, and on its own as a snack. This recipe is also very flexible to accommodate the nut and seed combination of your preference.

    Nut and seed combinations

    Feel free to experiment with different nut and seed combinations from those listed. This Grain-Free Granola recipe is just as awesome if you only have 2 or 3 types on hand, or want to streamline your shopping list. Almonds, pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts, and sunflower seeds are our favorite nut and seed standbys, but I often make swaps depending on what we have on hand or what's in season locally. Hazelnuts, or Filberts as they're sometimes called, are plentiful in the fall months here in Portland as Oregon produces 99 percent of the U.S. hazelnut crop. Having access to good-quality local bulk nuts and seeds makes throwing together a more varied assortment much easier and inexpensive, as you aren't tied to buying large bags of each. However, I will often pick up a bag or two of Freddy Guys Hazelnuts from my local farmers market or Amazon because I go through them fairly quickly.

    If you're looking to mix things up further, check out my recipe for Grain-Free Pumpkin Spice Granola.

    Doubling the recipe?

    This Grain-Free Granola recipe can be easily doubled and that's how I usually make it so that we have an ample supply for several weeks. When doubling, I usually only add an additional ¼ c honey rather than the full extra ½ cup as the sweetness of the honey has a substantial impact. My favorite honey is GloryBee Raw Clover, which I generally keep on hand in a nearly 12lb pail (!!!).

    This recipe is nearly foolproof as long as you keep an eye on the oven. Remember, low and slow is the best way to achieve ideal toastiness.

    A note for special diets

    This Grain-Free Granola is refined sugar-free and friendly for Paleo and SIBO diets.

    Description

    This Grain-Free Granola is excellent on parfaits, drenched with cold milk, and on its own as a snack. This recipe is also very flexible to accommodate the nut and seed combination of your preference.


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 ½ cups unsweetened coconut, finely shredded
    • 1 cup almonds, slivered or sliced
    • ½ cup pecans
    • ½ cup walnuts
    • ½ cup hazelnuts
    • ½ cup raw sunflower seeds
    • 1 cup dried unsweetened currants, blueberries, or raisins (optional)
    • 1 tbsp cinnamon
    • 1 ½ tsp nutmeg
    • 1 tsp sea salt
    • ½ cup nut or sun butter
    • ½ cup raw honey
    • 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
    • 1 tbsp vanilla

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 C) and line an XL baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
    2. In a large bowl, combine nuts, seeds, coconut, dried fruit, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix by hand until well-distributed.
    3. Add the nut or sun butter, honey, coconut oil, and vanilla and stir until fully-combined. If your honey or nut butter is super firm, it helps to melt slightly prior to mixing for even dispersion.
    4. Transfer mixture to your sheet tray and spread evenly.
    5. Bake for 25-35 minutes, turning the granola slightly with a wooden spoon or spatula halfway through. Once the granola has hit the 25 minute mark, check your oven in 5-minute increments as the nuts burn easily. Your granola should deepen in color slightly as the nuts toast, especially around the edges, but should not turn black.
    6. Allow to cool fully. The mixture should break up into chunks nicely when you transfer it to an airtight container and should keep for several weeks when stored in a cool, dry place.

      Thank you for posting this! I was looking for sibo-friendly grain free granola and tried this today. It came out still pretty wet from the oven so wasn't sure if i did it correctly but it was crumbly and beautiful after it cooled down. So tasty!! The challenge is not to keep snacking on this.. (Meant to be my easy-to-go breakfast) Am completely new at this so very much grateful for your recipes! xxx
