Since I cleared the house of most products with wheat and gluten in it, I thought I would try to find a new replacement for breakfast that my man might enjoy as well and I came up with this granola which we both find delicious (we mixed it 50-50 with cornflakes this morning and almond milk poured over… Yum!).
I basically put in my favorite nuts and seeds, but this recipe could be made with anything, use around 50-50 oats to nuts/seeds. Just make sure you get certified gluten-free oats if you are allergic.
Ingredients
1/2 cup raw almonds
1/2 cup walnuts
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
3 tbsp coconut oil
1 tbsp dextrose (glucose) powder
1 tsp vanilla essence
I love granola in all forms, shapes and sizes. I rarely eat it for breakfast, I just snack it all day long in little bits and pieces. When I do take it for breakfast I have it with plain yogurt. Thanks for sharing this nice recipe. I should start making my own. Have a wonderful weekend!

Good idea for snacking. I love it too because you can use it in so many ways… by itself, mixed with other foods or drizzling on top 🙂 I have been away for the weekend, beautiful sun, hope you enjoyed yours too 🙂

Sounds great (this is now a regular our household and eaten every day). Let me know how you get on. I eat it with pretty much everything or by itself of course 🙂

I make an oat free version as I have given up all grain & I use glucose syrup instead of dextrose. It is very yummy with my home-made yoghurt or kefir

Hi Anne – I had actually been thinking about trying this recipe with the syrup instead of dextrose to see if it would get more clumpy. What else do you put in your oat free recipe?

I make my own all the time but glad to find this recipe !! Didn’t know about using the coconut oil. Great replacement for the butter I use. Thanks again !!!

Thanks for stopping by and I’m happy that you found it useful. I also started to use rice syrup (instead of the coconut oil and dextrose) which I think makes it even better 🙂
