Grain-free Granola

If you need a little crunch in your breakfast that's grain-free, this granola is your answer! It's lightly sweet and incredibly delicious!Fortunately, we don’t have anyone in our family with food allergies or sensitivities, but since there are so many families out there that do, I was inspired to create a grain-free granola. and besides, less grain in our diets is a win in my book! I’m still grain-free from my whole30 experience a few months ago, so this it’s perfect for me too!

If you need a little crunch in your breakfast that's grain-free, this granola is your answer! It's lightly sweet and incredibly delicious!I had no idea that seeds baked in honey with a few spices would be so delicious and so, so much like oat granola, but it truly is! The first little bites I took were (piping hot off the pan) and crunchy and sweet and savory and totally tasty. I was a little bit shocked at how good it was!

If you need a little crunch in your breakfast that's grain-free, this granola is your answer! It's lightly sweet and incredibly delicious!I put 1/2 cup or so in a bowl and topped with some almond milk and blueberries for breakfast the next morning and i was hooked. from there, it went on everything and I even ate it alone by the handfuls! I’m a big granola eater, so for me to say I don’t miss oat granola is really something and I’m saying it, ‘I don’t miss oat granola!’

If you’re grain-free or just trying to reduce grain consumption, this recipe is perfect!

    This looks delish! No one in my family has allergies either, but it’s always fun to experiment. Sometimes it turns out even yummier than expected!

    This looks scrumptious – and very similar to regular granola. I have several family and friends that eat grain free, I’d love to try this for them!

    This sounds so good! I’m not technically grain-free, but I try to eat minimal grains in my day-to-day life. I’m so excited to have this as a breakfast option!

    This sounds yummy. I can see it as a topping for yogurt or icecream or the “crisp” part of an apple or berry crisp.
