Finally sharing my granola recipe everyone’s been waiting for!
When it comes to meal prep for my clients, there’s one recipe that gets requested time and time again: my grain-free granola. It’s the perfect blend of crunch, a hint of sweetness, and wholesome ingredients that make it a versatile staple for breakfasts, snacks, or even a light dessert topping.
This granola is not just delicious—it’s packed with healthy fats, fiber, and antioxidants that help keep you full and energized throughout the day. It’s naturally sweetened and baked with a specific oil, which provides heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. The mix of nuts and seeds offers a powerful boost of omega-3s, magnesium, and protein, making it a nourishing choice for any time of the day. Plus, a touch of a special spice adds not only warmth but also helps balance blood sugar levels.
How to Customize This Granola
One of the things my clients love most about this granola is how adaptable it is. For those who aren’t strictly grain-free, adding oats and coconut flakes gives it extra body and a different texture. The oats make it a bit heartier, while the coconut flakes add a subtle sweetness and chew.
Tips for the Perfect Bake
The secret to this granola’s signature crunch is baking it low and slow. I spread it out evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let it toast gently in the oven, stirring it once or twice to ensure it crisps up evenly. The result? Irresistible clusters that are perfect for topping smoothie bowls, yogurt, or just enjoying by the handful.
