No-Oat Granola Recipe

We got back from vacation the other day and were immediately right back in it—managing our kids’ schedules, catching up, and cooking delicious food all weekend. I’ve been snacking on this no-oat granola all week. It’s filled with nuts and seeds, with just a touch of sweetness and a little cinnamon/vanilla flavor. You’ll want to keep this on hand at all times!

Ingredients for No-Oat Granola

  • 1 cup salted roasted cashews

  • 3/4 cup walnuts

  • ¼ cup sliced almonds

  • 2/3 cups coconut flakes, unsweetened

  • 1/3 cup sesame seeds

  • 3/4 cups pumpkin seeds

  • 3 tablespoons honey

  • 3 tablespoons avocado oil

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla paste

How to Make No-Oat Granola

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 

  2. Mix together the cashews and walnuts in a large bowl. 

  3. Using the base of a jar (or anything with a wide base), crush the nuts into smaller pieces. It doesn’t have to be perfect. 

  4. Add the almonds, coconut, sesame seeds, and pumpkin seeds and combine. 

  5. Stir in the honey, avocado oil, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla paste. 

  6. Mix well to get everything fully coated. 

  7. Place the mixture in a flat layer on the baking sheet and bake for 27 minutes, until golden brown and sort of like a brittle. Let cool completely.

  8. Break it up into smaller pieces. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days, if it lasts that long.
