Perfect Grain-Free Granola

September 10, 2014

Grain free granola

I love granola and think it is a very healthy snack, but I can’t have grains. So, I made this grain-free granola. It is delicious and a perfect snack on the go. I took some on vacation and take it with me each week for my lunch at our homeschool co-op. My kids helped me make it and can’t get enough of it. They helped me add all the ingredients, stir them together, and even started to eat it before it was baked. 

Ingredients for Perfect Grain-Free Granola

1 1/2 cups raw almonds

1 1/2 cups raw pecans

1 1/2 cups raw walnuts

1 cup raw pumpkin seeds

1 cup raw sunflower seeds

1/2 cup raw coconut flakes

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 tablespoon cinnamon

1/2 cup honey

1/2 cup pure maple syrup

1/4 cup almond or macadamia nut oil

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions for Perfect Grain-Free Granola

Grain free granolaMeasure nuts, seeds, coconut, sea salt, and cinnamon into a large bowl and mix well. Add honey, maple syrup, oil, and vanilla and stir together until well combined.

Grain free granolaSpread on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.  Bake at 300 degrees F for 45 minutes or more, stirring after about 30 minutes. Stop baking when the granola is toasty brown. If you like chewy granola, use less time. For crunchier granola, use more time.

Grain free granolaAllow to cool completely and store in an airtight container. If desired, after your granola has cooled stir in some chocolate chips or dried fruit. If you are a chocolate lover like me, you can also replace the cinnamon with coco powder. Enjoy!

Here on Mama’s Homestead, we talk and write about homesteading, homeschooling, and kidsteading (homesteading with kids). We teach our kids about survival, self-sufficiency, gardening (vegetable, herb, flower), orchard, beekeeping, home keeping, soap making, harvesting, cooking, food preservation, livestock, nature, crafts, homesteading tools and wares, and more… Welcome to my homestead…come and learn with us!
