Healthy Homemade Granola

Here is a homemade granola recipe that is easy to make and PACKED with protein, healthy fats, and fiber! It is gluten-free, vegan, keto-friendly, and no sugar added. Most importantly, it tastes amazing — this recipe is husband and toddler approved! Yum!

This granola came about because I was tired of reading the ingredients and nutrition on granola packages at the store and seeing SO MUCH added sugar — high fructose corn syrup, sugar, cane sugar, maple syrup, honey, agave syrup, sucrose, fruit juices, and all the other names they use to sneak in sugar. Even the ‘super healthy’ organic brands were guilty. I know sugar is not the devil, in moderation sugar from natural sources is fine. But if its not needed, why add it?

So I set out to maximize the nutritional punch and taste while cutting the added sugars . The highlights of this granola are the 8 grams of Protein and 5 grams of Fiber per serving. It is also a great source of potassium, magnesium, Vitamin E, Omega 3, 6 & 9 essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and plant-based calcium and iron! This is killer in the morning (or as a mid-afternoon snack) to give your brain a boost and provide you with lasting energy throughout your day.

This granola is delicious on its own, on top of ice cream, yogurt, smoothie bowls, with milk (unsweetened vanilla almond milk is my fave), on top of salads and more.

I know this makes a seriously big batch, but we have eaten half in about a week so it is worth it to make the whole recipe! If you live alone, feel free to cut it in half. Let me know if you try it, or if you have any questions in the comment section!!

Healthy High Protein Granola

This easy homemade granola recipe is high in protein, healthy fats, fiber, and has no sugar added! It is vegan and gluten-free. It is made with oats, coconut oil, a variety of nuts, and dried fruit. Serving size is about 1/3 of a cup, but no judgment or guilt if you double down!

Ingredients

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (or coconut flakes)
1 cup oats (gluten-free)
1 1/2 cups slivered raw almonds (or raw almonds chopped)
1 1/2 cups raw pecans, chopped or left whole
1 cup raw walnuts, roughly chopped
3/4 cup raw sunflower seeds (or pumpkin seeds or a combination)
1/4 cup chia seeds
1/4 cup powdered Swerve sweetener (can sub honey, maple syrup, agave, coconut sugar)
2 tbsp flax seed meal
3 tbsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground cardamom
1 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp ground sea salt
3 tbsp coconut oil, melted
1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup dried cranberries * optional (or other fruit)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl (except dried fruit)
Add in the melted coconut oil and vanilla and mix well.
Spread evenly on a large baking sheet covered in parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Bake for 20 minutes, stir and bake another 10-15 minutes.
Let cool. Add dry fruits once cooled.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 to 2 weeks, or in a sealed freezer bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. The dried fruit can freeze so let it warm to room temperature for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

You can swap the alternate sweetener for your sweetener of choice, feel free to experiment and make it your own!

The carbohydrates from swerve are not included in the macro listing since it is a sugar alcohol and is not processed the same as regular carbs.

To ensure it is gluten free, use specifically gluten-free oats.

To make this keto friendly, omit the dried fruits.
