My Famous Granola Recipe

Okay, maybe not celebrity famous, but my grain-free, sugar-free granola recipe is pretty well-known amongst my friends and family. One of my friends calls it "crack!" If you're into health and nutrition, I'd love to share the love (and potential addiction) with you!

BEST GRAIN-FREE, SUGAR-FREE GRANOLA

(disclaimer: I have no plans to be a recipe blogger, so pardon my simplified format)

  1. PRE-HEAT OVEN TO 350 DEGREES
  2. PREP 1 LARGE BAKING SHEET WITH A LAYER OF PARCHMENT PAPER
  3. PULSE THE FOLLOWING IN A FOOD PROCESSOR OR NINJA:
    • 1 CUP RAW, UNSALTED ALMONDS
    • 1 CUP RAW, UNSALTED WALNUTS
    • 1 CUP RAW, UNSALTED PECANS
    • 1/3 CUP FLAX SEED
    • 1/3 CUP CHIA SEEDS
    • 1/3 CUP PUMPKIN SEEDS
    • (optional) 1/3 CUP SUNFLOWER SEEDS
    • 8 TBSP ORGANIC COCONUT SUGAR
  4. MIX THE FOLLOWING IN A LARGE MIXING BOWL:
    • 1 EGG WHITE
    • ¼ CUP COCONUT OIL (MELT, THEN COOL BEFORE USING)
    • 2 TSP VANILLA (PURE & ORGANIC)
    • 2 TBSP HONEY
    • 1 TBSP MOLASSES
    • 2 TSP CINNAMON
    • 1 TSP FINE SEA SALT
  5. FOLD DRY INGREDIENTS INTO WET INGREDIENTS
  6. SPREAD MIXTURE ONTO PARCHMENT PAPER ON BAKING SHEET
  7. SPRINKLE WITH CHUNKY SEA SALT
  8. BAKE AT 350 DEGREES FOR APPROX. 16-20 MINUTES
    • TOSS INGREDIENTS HALF-WAY AT 8 MIN. 
  9. REMOVE FROM OVEN WHEN DARK, TOASTY, GOLDEN BROWN IN COLOR
  10. LET COOL COMPLETELY
  11. STORE IN AIR TIGHT CONTAINER IN FRIDGE OR FREEZER

That's it!

Yes, it's alot of ingredients, however, after you make it once, the ingredients last a pretty long time. The items I purchase the most are the nuts. (Costco or Walmart have the best prices) 

I love to eat my granola sprinkled on top of a homemade fruit smoothie or unsweetened, plain yogurt (with blueberries and sliced banana). For either option, I always sprinkle chia seeds for fiber and drizzle honey for natural sweetness and local allergy prevention.  

If you try it, I'd love to hear what you think!

It'll be worth the read!

I'll share information that may be a good reminder (the stuff you already know) or just may blow your mind (the new, perspective-shifting, really valuable stuff).

I'll also share updates and launches on my newest programs and workshops, so you'll want to be first to know!

I look forward to helping you GROW!
