This grain free granola is made without sugar! It’s loaded with coconut, a variety of nuts, coconut oil and cinnamon. Paleo, gluten-free, low carb and low sugar.
The simpler the better these days! This granola is made with only five ingredients and comes together in a flash. Even though it’s sugar free, it is crazy delicious!
Only 5 Ingredients
unsweetened coconut flakes
raw nuts: I used a blend of cashews, almonds, walnuts and pumpkin seeds
chia seeds
cinnamon
coconut oil or butter, melted
How to Make Grain Free Granola
It truly doesn’t get much easier than this… mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl and spread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure the mixture is spread evenly on the baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and enjoy! After completely cooled you can store in an airtight container. I like to store in the refrigerator or freezer so it stays extra crunchy.
No Added Sugar
This recipe is inspired by Sarah Wilson’s sugar-free granola recipe from I Quit Sugar. She suggests using rice malt syrup, but I made mine without the syrup and it turned out to be delicious. I can totally see why it’s such a popular recipe. It does a great job of satisfying my craving for sweet and crunchy granola but without the grains and added sugar. It’s so packed with healthy fats from the coconut, nuts and chia seeds so it’s really quite filling. I love it on greek yogurt!
I like this. I used shredded coconut, a mixture of nuts, cinnamon and added nutmeg. I didn’t think it was oily with the 5 tbs of oil. It’s delicious. I’m making another batch today, and will use 3 tbs of ghee to experiment. I’m on a no grain, no sugar diet and this satisfies my taste buds.Thank you!
Thank you for the information in the storage tip. I made this recipe before but couldn’t remember how to keep it stored. I’m going to keep it in the freezer as per your suggestion, Thank you!
Thanks for the recipe. I also cut down the coconut oil to 2 tablespoons after reading other’s comments. I added chopped dates, dried apricots and cacao nibs to the finished product. Yum 🙂
