Maple Coconut Granola (V, GF)

September 12, 2018 6 Comments

Maple Coconut Granola

It’s September, and where I live in Canada it’s very suddenly starting to feel like fall. I know it’s not technically fall yet, but that isn’t stopping me from getting exciting about knit sweaters, fall hikes and all the cozy comfort foods.  But before I jump right into pumpkin-spice-everything, I figured I’d transition with a cozy food that’s good year-round: Granola!

Maple Coconut Granola

This maple coconut granola is just the thing you need to take you into this new season. It makes getting out of bed on a chilly fall morning so much better. It’s made with gluten-free rolled oats, as well as nuts, seeds and coconut chips for extra protein and crunch. The taste is coconutty, cinnamony, and not too sweet. Best of all, unlike most store-bought granolas that always seem to have sugar listed as one of the top ingredients, this granola is naturally sweetened with maple syrup.

Maple Coconut Granola

For most of my life, I had no idea that people made their own granola. Crazy right? I thought it was just this really great stuff that came out of a box, like cereal. But once I started making it myself, I realized that the store-bought stuff just doesn’t compare. Better yet, it turns out that granola is actually really easy to make too. Yes please!!

Maple Coconut Granola

This maple coconut granola is great on it’s own, as cereal with your favourite non-dairy milk, or on top of coconut yogurt and fruit as a parfait.

MAPLE COCONUT GRANOLA (V, GF)

This maple coconut granola is great on it's own, as cereal with your favourite non-dairy milk, or on top of coconut yogurt and fruit as a parfait.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes
Servings 16 servings (1/2 cup each)
Calories 315 kcal

Ingredients

  • 4 cups gluten-free rolled oats*
  • 1 cup whole raw almonds (roughly chopped)
  • 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
  • 1 cup coconut chips*
  • 1/3 cup sesame seeds
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp sea salt
  • 3/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, almonds, pumpkin seeds, coconut chips, sesame seeds, cinnamon and sea salt. Stir. Pour in maple syrup and coconut oil, and mix thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.

  3. Pour granola mixture on to lined baking sheet. Firmly press it into an even layer using either the back of a large spoon or your fingers.

  4. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and stir gently. Press firmly back into an even layer, and bake for another 20 minutes or until golden and fragrant.

  5. Let cool completely before gently breaking it up into small clusters. I store mine in a large glass jar for up to 3 weeks. Enjoy!

Notes

  • I use these gluten-free oats and these coconut chips.
  • Nutritional information is approximate and based on 1/2 cup of granola.

    I Just finished making this granola – I couldn’t wait to eat if for breakfast so had as a nighttime snack! It was delicious – followed recipe to a T!

    I think this would make a wonderful gift in a pretty jar – and may just do this for the holidays.

    Thanks for your great recipes and fantastic website – I look forward to your weekly postings.

Oh hey, it’s been a while...but I’m back...and Oh hey, it’s been a while...but I’m back...and I’ve brought COOKIES !!! And not just any cookies. We’re talking COOKIES N’ CREAM CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES aka my signature cookies. Friend had a bad day? I’m bringing these cookies. Rainy afternoon? I’m baking these cookies.

I’m sure most of you can agree that lockdown has been really tough. Here in Melbourne, it just seems to be dragging on and on. Lately, I’ve reallyyy been lacking motivation and creativity when it comes to cooking and making recipes (anyone else!?) and most days just getting out of bed is an accomplishment. 

But today was a good reminder for me that something as simple as getting outside and wandering around a new suburb, catching up with a friend, or treating yourself to a warm drink can change your outlook.

So this is just a friendly reminder to be kind to yourself, and try to do one simple thing that will brighten your day. Whatever that means for you. 😌✨
