Ingredients
- 5 Cups Gluten-Free Rolled Oats
- 1/2 Cup Hemp Hearts
- 1/2 Cup Shredded and Unsweetened Coconut
- 1.5 Tsp Cinnamon Powder
- 1/2 Tsp Sea Salt
- 1/2 Cup Nut Butter of Choice We love walnut and peanut butter!

- 1 Tsp Vanilla

Optional
- 2 Tbsp Honey/Maple Syrup
- 1/2 Cup Raisins

Instructions
-
Set oven to 300 degrees F.
Combine dry ingredients and lay onto baking sheet.
In a small sauce pan, heat the wet ingredients until they have melted together. Pour wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix well, until all granola bits are coated. It helps to take a spatula and squish around.
Split the mixture onto two separate baking sheets and bake for 30-35 minutes. Stir every 10 minutes to get a nice and even toasty crunch.
Let the granola cool completely before storing in air-tight containers. It will last for weeks!
Recipe Notes
For an added sweetness, a few tablespoons of honey or maple syrup will get you there. However, if you are loving the unsweetened life, as we are, the banana and raisins do the job!
We have made this with peanut butter, homemade walnut butter, and almond butter. All are delicious and you cannot go wrong!
Enjoy with fresh berries, yogurt, or your favorite dairy-free milk!
