Extremely simple and delicious gluten free, vegan and refined sugar free granola that you can easily make at home with a few quick steps.
This granola is one for the nut butter fans out there… It’s crunchy, so easy to make and can be used in lots of different ways.
And of course if you don’t like or have an allergy to peanut butter this recipe works with any nut butter you choose!
It only uses these 7 ingredients that you will most likely already have in your kitchen at home.
Best of all it couldn’t be simpler to prepare! 7 ingredients, one bowl and 5 minutes is all you need!

Just bake it in the oven for 25 minutes until lightly golden brown and crunchy!
You can eat it warm straight out the oven or leave it to cool.
Granola is always such a versatile breakfast, you can simply have it with milk…
or get creative and make an incredible bowl by adding coconut yoghurt and berries. You can also top smoothie bowls with it or even just have a handful of it as an afternoon snack.
The great thing about making your own granola is that it’s cheaper but also you can store it in a sealed container for months meaning you don’t have to eat it all straight away.

love the recipe just curious what the nutrition facts are
Finally made a batch of this granola and my family has almost finished it in just a few hours. Thank you! I guess I will make more tomorrow.
Make this nearly every week but I swap the whole almonds for flaked almonds and add a cup of hazelnuts, it’s sooo good. Thanks James
Made this for a brown bag brunch, where I dropped off goodies in a brown bag and we “telebrunched” It was a major hit.
Thank you Jody 🙂 pleased to hear it went well!
Omg. Had a go at making this as needed some peanut butter granola for another recipe (chocolate peanut butter cups) , have made 4 x batches now and dissapears in our house so quick that I still haven’t managed to make the peanut butter cups.
That’s awesome Sarah 🙂 so pleased to hear the whole house is enjoying it. Maybe you’ll get round to making the cups at some point haha thanks for sharing your feedback!
I’m making this recipe all the time now. Sometimes I don’t have all the ingredients called for but this recipe still tastes marvelous with substitutes like raisins, coconut flakes, olive oil, hazelnuts… I have a pan in the oven right now and I can’t wait for it to bake. It’s my lunch today! 🙂
Thank you Tema, so pleased you’re enjoying it!
I love this stuff! I made it this a.m. and I am ecstatic that this granola tastes so good. I won’t be using it as a cereal but as a lovely snack. I love that it’s so easy to make and yet will be a good go-to snack to take to my knitting group tomorrow. Thank you so much!
Yay so pleased you’re enjoying it TEMA thanks for leaving your review 🙂
Do you need as much oil that’s what has always put me me off granola but I really want to make it
Hi Emma, you could use less oil if you wanted to! It definitely helps to bind it together more though. Give it a try and see how you get on.
Can you use normal oil if you don’t have coconut oil?
Absolutely Emma, I would suggest one like sunflower rather than olive oil though.
I decided to try this as I’ve been struggling to find a granola that is both gluten free and refined sugar free. It has just come out of the oven looking and smelling delicious! I can’t stop nibbling at it and can’t wait for breakfast tomorrow now, yum!!
Hey Annie, thank you for leaving a review 🙂 enjoy your breakfast!
