Whole30 Granola Recipe
Description
The Whole30 Granola recipe starts by soaking dates to soften them before pureeing into a paste. This date paste is combined with chopped pecans, cashews, walnuts, and almonds alongside coconut flakes, chia seeds, ground flaxseed, and cinnamon. Egg white is whisked to frothy peaks acting as a binder, and coconut oil is added to help with clump formation. The mixture is baked in a thin even layer until the edges are crispy and golden, then fully cooled to develop into clusters.
This granola provides a textured mix of nut crunch and chewy date sweetness, enhanced by coconut and cinnamon notes. It can be enjoyed with plant-based milk or yogurt, or as a grab-and-go snack. The recipe yields about 4 cups of granola, with each serving around half a cup.
For storage, keep the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week to maintain crispness. Cooling completely before breaking avoids crumbling and supports chunk formation for an enjoyable texture.
Ingredients
- 5 dates pitted
- 1 cup pecans
- 1 cup cashews
- 1 cup walnuts
- ½ cup almonds
- 1 egg white
- ½ cup coconut flakes unsweetened
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp Flaxseed ground
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp coconut oil melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking pan with parchment paper.
- First, place 5 dates in a bowl of warm water. Soak for 5 minutes. Then drain dates and pat dry with paper towels.
- Add dates to food processor. Process until a paste is formed.
- Then, add pecans, cashews, walnuts and almonds to food processor. Pulse a few times, or until nuts are crumbly.
- Add egg white to a mixing bowl. Whisk for 1 minute until frothy.
- Then add chopped nuts and all remaining ingredients to mixing bowl.
- Stir until combined. It should be clumping together slightly.
- Carefully transfer mixture to baking pan. Arrange in one even layer, about ½ inch thick.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until edges are starting to get crispy.
- Remove from oven. Allow granola to cool fully before carefully breaking into clumps.½
Notes
- Adjust nut amounts as desired but aim for a total of about 3½ cups for the right texture.
- Allow granola to cool fully on the baking pan before breaking into clumps to achieve larger clusters.
- Store granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week to keep it crisp.
