Recipe for Nut Free, Dairy Free, and Gluten Free Granola Butter

This Granola Butter recipe creates a smooth, nut-free spread by blending toasted oats and coconut flakes with warm oils and a mix of aromatic spices. The oats and coconut provide texture and flavor without nuts or gluten, while spices like cinnamon, ginger, clove, cardamom, and allspice bring warm complexity. Maple syrup adds natural sweetness, and water is used to achieve desired consistency, resulting in a flavorful alternative to traditional nut butters.

Ingredients

  • 1 ib oats
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 oz coconut flakes
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp ginger
  • ¼ tsp clove
  • 3 whole allspice berries
  • 2 whole cardamom pods

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the oats, whole spices and coconut flakes on a baking sheet and place in a preheated 350 degrees F oven.
  2. After 5 minutes remove the whole spices and coconut flakes. Stir the oats with a spatula and return them to the oven for another 5 minutes.
  3. Place the whole cardamon pods and all spice berries into a spice grinder for about 15 seconds, the spices should be powdery. 
  4. Remove oats from the oven, and put them into a food processor with the toasted coconut flakes, all 5 of the ground spices, salt, olive oil and warm coconut oil. DO NOT add the maple syrup at this stage, the mixture will seize (turn into a thick, stiff mass.)
  5. Blend it for about 10 - 15 minutes in the food processor. Pause for a minute or two to give the motor a break. It should start looking like nut butter.
  6. Transfer the almost completed Granola Butter from the food processor to a bowl. Add the maple syrup and stir. It will be thick. Add warm / hot water to thin the butter to your desired consistency level, about 3 tablespoons to make it a nut butter consistency. Add more to make it into a dip.
