5-Ingredient Grain Free Granola (No Sugar)

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!
