A super crunchy nut free granola recipe for those with allergies or dietary restrictions. Vegan, gluten-free and refined sugar free. The best crunch to the day. Nut Free Granola Recipe

Why have I just recently discovered the magic of coconut flakes? Seriously, where have they been all my life. They’re simply wonderful. When baked, oh my, they are light and crispy and everything seems to be fooled by their deceiving nutty, yet not made from nuts taste. Well by everyone, I mean by parents and their friends who are visiting from Moscow.

Probably not a large enough sample size to make enough extreme conclusions but still, what definitely is conclusive is that this pretty little granola jar was gobbled up in less than a day.

Every time I looked over someone else had their hand in the jar, walking around the house munching and crunching on this awesome best ever snack.

Seriously though – granola, needs nothing else – when it’s made from scratch, at home, and comes out fresh from the oven, sits for a bit to lightly crispen up as it cools – it’s the best snack ever. You can’t have just one bite.

It never happens.

You always needs more.

If you need to sprinkle it on something and you’re not ready for a ziplock bag full of just granola (don’t worry you’ll get there) then make a vegan spinach acai smoothie bowl asap.

Those two are inseparable best buds right there.

Granola is usually made with nuts, but then I got to thinking – what about all those people out there with nut allergies? They can’t possibly be forced to give up their delicious treat just because of a few dietary restrictions right?

Right.

Coconut flakes to the rescue.

Now I’m not even kidding when I say this nut free granola recipe might just be my new all time favorite granola recipe ever.

Nut Free Granola Recipe made with oats, coconut flakes and seeds instead

I know, I pretty much say that everytime I make a new granola recipe, but this time, this right here might be the winner; this vegan nut free granola recipe is simply amazing!  With tons of different powerhouse seeds, we’re looking at sunflower, pumpkin, chia, hemp and those white fluffy flakes, the flavors here are incredible.

It’s not too heavy, not too sweet, not too dry, just what it should be. Packed with all sorts of vitamins and nutrients and minimal sugar (just two tablespoons of maple syrup in the whole batch) the nut free granola recipe makes a perfect afternoon of guilt free snacking.

      In place of quinoa flour you can use regular all purpose flour (or cassava flour, or gluten free flour)
