Nutty Fruit Free Granola Recipes

NUT FREE GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F / 160°C. Line a big baking tray with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, mix together the oats, wheat germ, coconut flakes, cinnamon, ginger and sea salt flakes.
• In a small bowl, mix together the honey and coconut oil. You can heat it in the microwave for about 10 seconds to help it mix together more easily.
• Pour the honey mixture over the dry mixture and stir everything together very well, until all the oats look well coated. Tip the oats mixture onto the baking tray and use a spatula to spread it all out evenly.
• Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, stirring everything once halfway through. Remove the pan from the oven and do not stir again if you like clusters. Allow the granola to cool completely.
• Once the granola has completely cooled, break apart any large clusters. Mix in the raisins and banana chips.
• Store in an airtight container. It should last up to 2 weeks, but use your best judgment depending on how dry/crunchy you like your granola toasted.

SIMPLY THE BEST NUT FREE GRANOLA RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Prepare a rimmed baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying with cooking spray. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, stir together oats and wheat germ.
• In a small saucepan, whisk together salt, brown sugar, honey, oil, cinnamon, and vanilla. Bring to a boil over medium-low heat, stirring frequently. Once the honey mixture boils, remove from heat.
• Pour honey mixture over the oats and stir until the oats are completely coated. Add cranberries and coconut and stir to combine.
• Spread oat mixture evenly onto prepared baking sheet. I like to use a wooden spoon to gently press together clumps of the oats to get those great crunchy clusters at the end!
• Bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through.
• Remove from the oven, press oats gently again with a wooden spoon to form those clusters, and allow to cool completely before storing granola in an air-tight container. The granola will continue to get crispier and crunchier as it cools.

NUTTY GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl combine the oats, nuts, maple syrup, salt, cinnamon and the raisins, if using. Spread the mixture onto the baking sheet and bake until golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Transfer the sheet to a cooling rack and let cool completely. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

FRUIT AND NUT GRANOLA (CHRISSIE'S GRANOLA)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
• Pour the oats into a large bowl. Add almonds, cinnamon, cocoa powder, salt, brown sugar, and dried fruit into the oats respectively, stirring each into the mixture before adding the next.
• Mix maple syrup and vanilla extract together in a small bowl. With a rubber spatula, add the maple syrup-vanilla mixture to your dry ingredients. Fold the two together until mixed and all dry ingredients are well coated.
• Bake in preheated oven for about 20 minutes, stir, and continue baking until golden brown, about 25 minutes more. Set aside to cool slightly, about 20 minutes.
• Gently fold chocolate chips into the granola mixture, allowing the chocolate to coat the granola as it melts slightly. Cool completely before storing.

NUTTY GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Stir oats, almonds, coconut, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pecans, and salt, together in a large bowl.
• Stir butter and honey together in a small saucepan over low heat until the butter is fully melted.
• Stir vanilla extract into the melted butter.
• Pour butter mixture over oats mixture; stir until evenly coated.
• Spread the mixture onto 2 large baking sheets into single, even layers.
• Bake in preheated oven 10 minutes. Remove from oven and gently turn the granola. Continue baking until golden brown, about 10 minutes more.
• Set granola aside to cool to room temperature; transfer to a large bowl.
• Gently fold cranberries into the granola.

NUTTY FRUIT FREE GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275F/135°C.
• In a large bowl toss oatmeal, coconut, nuts, and sunflower seeds together.
• In a separate bowl whisk together oil, honey, cinnamon, and vanilla.
• Pour liquid mixture over oats and stir until everything is coated.
• Pour mixture into a large rimmed baking sheet. I also cover the baking sheet with baking paper but it's not necessary if you have a non-stick pan.
• Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, stirring once or twice. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn.
• Let it cool completely. Blend in cornflakes if using.
• Store in an airtight container.

NUTS & SEEDS GRANOLA

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan gas 4. Line a large baking sheet with baking parchment to prevent the granola from sticking. Put all of the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Whisk together the almond extract, vegetable oil and maple syrup in a jug, then pour into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
• Mix together well, making sure that all the dry ingredients are well coated and that there are no dry bits. Tip the mixture onto the lined baking sheet and spread out in an even layer. Cook for about 25-30 mins until golden. You will need to give the mixture a few turns every 8-10 mins to make sure it dries out evenly and doesn't clump together too much. Keep an eye on it as nuts can burn easily.
• Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely on the tray. Break up any large clumps of granola with a wooden spoon. Will keep for up to one month in an airtight container. Serve with milk or yogurt, and fresh seasonal fruit, if you like.
