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!

- 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!
