This crunchy gluten-free granola is lightly sweetened with honey, packed with nuts and seeds, and slow-baked for the perfect crisp texture. Simple ingredients, big flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups gluten-free oats

  • ¾ cup sliced raw almonds

  • ¼ cup raw cashews

  • ½ cup raw pepitas (pumpkin seeds)

  • ¼ cup unsweetened coconut flakes

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil

  • 3 tablespoons honey

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 250°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients: oats, almonds, cashews, pepitas, coconut flakes, and cinnamon.
  • In a small saucepan over low heat, combine coconut oil, honey, and vanilla. Heat for a few minutes until melted and fully combined (do not boil).
  • Pour the warm mixture over the dry ingredients and stir well until everything is evenly coated.
  • Spread the granola evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 75 minutes, undisturbed, until dry and lightly golden.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on the pan—this is when it crisps up.
  • Once cooled, break into clusters and store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Storage
    Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks
    For extra crunch, keep away from humidity
