Vegan Oat-Free Gluten-Free Granola with No Added Oil or Refined Sugar

Gluten-Free Granola is one of those foods that tick a whole lot of boxes. I mean, it makes a solid breakfast or brunch option, is an incredible snack on the go, and can even satisfy a sweet craving when the desire hits.

Unfortunately, some of the granola on the store’s shelf is full of added oils, sugars, and preservatives which takes away from the healthy qualities that drew you towards granola. But that is not the case with our Vegan Oat-Free Gluten-Free Granola with No Added Oil or Refined Sugar.

We have created a delicious granola that never forgets its healthy qualities that drew you to it.

CHEF’S HINTS

Feel free to customize this recipe to your preferences. Omit and add the nuts, seeds, and dried fruits to your palate. Use our recipe as a guideline for quantities and directions but don’t pass this up because you don’t have all the items in your pantry. I used peanuts when I was out of all other nuts and it was amazing!
