Let’s Get Cooking

Ingredients

Original Recipe Quantities

Method

  1. Preheat and Prep

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, chopped nuts, shredded coconut (if using), cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir these together so the spices are evenly distributed.

  3. Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, honey, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

  4. Combine and Toss

    Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to thoroughly coat every oat and nut with the sticky sweet mixture.

  5. Bake Low and Slow

    Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning. Watch closely toward the end to avoid burning.

  6. Cool and Add Mix-Ins

    Once golden and fragrant, remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the pan. After cooling, stir in chocolate chips or dried fruit if desired. Store in an airtight container.

A Little Extra Guidance

Recipe Notes

Ingredient checks, serving ideas, and food handling guidance.

Before You Cook

Use oats labeled gluten-free. A version made with honey is not vegan. Cool the granola before adding the dried fruit or storing it; the cooling period adds to elapsed time. Nuts and other allergens require their own ingredient checks.

Choosing Gluten-Free Ingredients

Check the exact products you buy, especially flour, oats, bread, pasta, sauces and broth. Gluten-free labeling and third-party certification are different. A recipe page or scanner cannot guarantee a dish’s preparation. Use clean equipment and protect ingredients from contact with gluten-containing foods. Gluten-free does not mean free of dairy, eggs, nuts or other allergens. See the FDA guide to gluten-free labels.

Handling Ingredients

Do not taste raw batter or dough. Gluten-free flour is not automatically ready to eat. See FDA flour handling guidance. Let baked goods cool as directed. Storage depends on the finished ingredients; cream-cheese frosting, custard and perishable toppings need refrigeration.
