I love granola, but I don’t always love its usual oil and sugar heavy profile. This crunchy lightened up version is lightly sweetened and very low in oil, resulting in a light tasting granola perfect for every day use.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups gluten-free rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup sliced or chopped almonds
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar or natural cane sugar (reduce to 3T)
  • 2 tablespoons ground flax
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 cup virgin coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup brown rice syrup
  • 3 tablespoons almond or peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 vanilla beans, scraped or 1/2-3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla bean powder

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 325F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or non-stick mat.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together dry ingredients.In a medium sized bowl, mix together the wet ingredients (except for the vanilla beans and extracts). Microwave for about 60 seconds on high. Now stir in the extracts and scraped vanilla beans until combined.
  3. Add wet mixture to dry mixture and stir well until everything is coated. The mixture will be a bit dry at first but keep mixing as it will eventually come together! If it is still too dry, add some applesauce, a tablespoon at a time, and stir until combined. Scoop onto baking sheet and spread it out into a thin layer.
  4. Bake for 10-15 minutes, rotating the pan once half-way through baking. Allow to cool for about 10-15 minutes on the baking sheet before breaking it apart into clusters. Makes about 5 cups. Store in an air-tight container for 1-2 months.
