Grain& Nut Free Homemade Granola
Description
The Grain & Nut Free Homemade Granola recipe uses a mix of hulled sunflower and pumpkin seeds paired with hemp hearts and chia seeds for texture and nutrition. A blend of creamed honey, sunflower seed butter, and coconut oil binds the seeds together during baking at 300°F. Stirring the granola once halfway through cooking and pressing it flat promotes uniform toasting and crispness.
Once removed from the oven, the granola appears crumbly but sets into clumps after it cools completely, allowing for easy storage and serving. It can be enjoyed on its own, added to yogurt, or sprinkled over fruit. Stored airtight in the fridge, this granola keeps its texture and flavor for several days.
The straightforward preparation taps into specific seed ingredients for a grain- and nut-free option that works well for those avoiding those common allergens. The recipe yields about 4 cups, with half-cup servings providing a satisfying crunch and natural sweetness from honey.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup sunflower seeds hulled & raw
- ¼ cup pumpkin seeds hulled & raw
- ⅛ cup hemp hearts
- ⅛ cup chia seeds
- ⅛ cup coconut oil
- ⅛ cup creamed honey
- ⅛ cup sunflower seed butter
- ¼ cup dried fruit
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees farhenheit.
- Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- Heat the coconut oil and creamed honey on very low.
- Mix the remaining ingredients into the bowl.
- Dump the granola mixture onto the tray and use a spatula to press it down evenly.
- Bake for 30 minutes stirring the granola once halfway through. To do this: mix it around and then repat the granola flat.
- Remove from the oven and let cool fully before storing.
Notes
- When stirring the granola halfway through baking, press it flat again to ensure even cooking and crispness.
- The granola appears crumbly right out of the oven; allow it to cool fully so it sets and holds together better.
- Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and texture.
- This recipe makes about 4 cups, with a half-cup serving size.
