Grain Free Granola
A grain-free using coconut flakes, dates and seeds
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1½ cups coconut flakes or chips unsweetened
- 1 cup chopped raw almonds or a combination of nuts and seeds of your choice I used a combination of raw slivered almonds and pepitas
- ½ to ⅓ cup dried fruit - ex. cranberries, dates, raisins etc. I used dried cranberries and chopped dates
- 1 to 2 TBSP fig butter, pumpkin butter or pumpkin puree I used Trader Joe's Fig Butter, but when available I use Pumpkin Butter
- 1 TBSP maple syrup or honey
- 1 to 2 TBSP coconut oil
- 2 tsp cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ½ tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Gather all of the ingredients
- Combine the dry ingredients into a large bowl
- Melt the coconut oil and mix into the dry ingredients
- Then add in the fig butter or the pumpkin puree and mix everything together
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper
- Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the baking sheet
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Watch closely, the coconut tends to brown very quickly
- Remove from oven and let cool. The mixture will crisp up a bit more as it cools
Notes
This is delicious as a snack, in a bowl with milk, sprinkled on yogurt, ice cream...you name it!
