Nut-free granola is a crunchy, allergy-friendly breakfast or snack made with oats, seeds, and natural sweeteners. It’s perfect for topping yogurt, enjoying with milk, or snacking on its own.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine oats, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut (if using), cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, warm the maple syrup (or honey) and coconut oil until melted. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix well until fully coated.
  5. Spread mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through for even toasting. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  7. Let granola cool completely on the baking sheet; it will crisp up as it cools.
  8. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Notes

Use certified gluten-free oats for a gluten-free version.Press mixture down before baking and don’t stir afterward to create clusters.Add dried fruit or chocolate chips after granola has cooled.Use other seeds like chia, flax, or hemp for variety.Sweeten to taste with more maple syrup or honey if desired.
