Grain Free Granola Ingredients:

To make this grain free granola recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• Almonds: Give them a rough chop.
  
• Shredded Coconut: Definitely one of my favorite ways to sweeten just about any recipe!
  
• Pumpkin Seeds (or Pepitas): I used pumpkin spiced seeds from Trader Joe’s to give it that great “Fall” flavor I love!
  
• Sunflower Seeds: Packed with B complex vitamins.
  
• Chia Seeds: This is where the protein starts coming in. Chia seeds have 4.7 grams of protein in 1 oz!
  
• Hemp Seeds: Hemp seeds are considered a complete protein, meaning they provide all the essential amino acids.
  
• Coconut Oil: My favorite way to bind and add a bit of moisture without the unhealthy fat.
  
• Cinnamon: Get that delicious Fall flavor going!
  
• Vanilla Extract: This will amp up the flavor of those delicious nuts and seeds.
  
• Honey: Just a touch of sweetness, plus it helps create those great granola clusters!
  
• Salt: Just be sure not to add any salt if you’re using any salted nuts.
