How do I ensure my grain-free granola doesn't burn during roasting?

Keep a close eye on the granola while it roasts for 10 to 13 minutes, removing it from the oven once it's toasted and fragrant to prevent burning.

What kind of nuts and seeds are used in this granola?

This recipe uses a mix of raw slivered almonds, raw walnut halves, raw pumpkin seeds, and raw sunflower seeds for a varied texture and flavor.

Can I make this granola without maple syrup?

The recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, which helps bind the ingredients and adds sweetness; you could try a similar liquid sweetener if preferred, but it might alter the flavor.

How should I store this Grain Free Granola?

Once completely cooled, transfer the granola to airtight glass containers or mason jars for optimal freshness.

What is the purpose of almond flour in this recipe?

Almond flour is added along with cinnamon and salt to the nut and seed mixture, contributing to the texture and helping to bind the granola as it roasts.

How to Prepare Grain Free Granola [Vegan]

Preheat the oven to 325°F, and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil and add the maple syrup and vanilla extract.
In a large bowl, combine and mix all the nuts and seeds.
Pour the wet ingredients over the nut-and-seed mixture, and stir everything together using a rubber spatula, making sure to coat it well. Add the almond flour, cinnamon, and salt and stir again.
Spread the mixture out evenly over the prepared baking sheet and roast for 10 to 13 minutes, until toasted and fragrant. Keep an eye on it to make sure it does not burn.
Remove the granola from the oven, and allow it to cool completely before transferring it to a few airtight glass containers or mason jars.
