Ingredients
(links below are the gluten free & celiac safe products I used in this recipe)
Dry Ingredients
- 3 cups gluten free old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/4 cup gluten free oat flour
- 3 tablespoons ground flaxseed meal
- 2 tablespoons white sesame seeds
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup sliced almonds
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/3 cup virgin coconut oil
- 1/2 cup raw honey
- 1/2 cup creamy natural almond butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Add Ins
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine oats, oat flour, flaxseed meal, sesame seeds, shredded coconut, almonds, pecans, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well combined.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, combine coconut oil, honey, almond butter, and vanilla extract. Place over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth and coconut oil is completely melted. Pour mixture over dry ingredients and mix well until everything is completely coated.
Step 4
Spread the granola evenly on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, stir the granola and bake for another 20 to 25 minutes or until granola is just slightly golden brown.
Step 5
Remove granola from the oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet so that large clumps stay intact. Do not stir while cooling.
Step 6
Once cooled, add chocolate chips. Transfer to an airtight container.
Notes
To make this vegan: simply replace the honey with maple syrup and use vegan dark chocolate chips.
