About the Recipe

Sometimes, you just want that classic granola crunch without the oats, and that’s where this grain-free granola comes in.

I love making this recipe when I’m craving something crispy, nutty, and just a little sweet to top off my breakfast bowls.

It’s inspired by the granola you’d find in stores but without the oats, so you’re left with a pure, nutrient-dense blend of nuts, seeds, and spices.

Whether you’re grabbing a handful for a quick snack, sprinkling it on your yogurt bowl, or using it as a crunchy topping, this granola is a must-try. Packed with healthy fats, protein, and fiber—and low in refined sugar—it’s a perfect addition to any meal prep plan. Here’s how you can make it yourself at home...

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of almonds

  • 1/4 cup hazelnuts

  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

  • 1 large handful of pecans,

  • 1.5 tbsp pure maple syrup

  • 1 tbsp cinnamon

  • 1 tbsp buckwheat flour (or any flour)

  • a pinch of salt

Preparation

  1. Mix all ingredients in one large bowl, and lay it out evenly on a baking sheet. Bake at 350F for 15 minutes.

  2. Let it completely cook to achieve that perfect crunch. You can store it in an air-tight container to ensure it remains fresh. Then enjoy this versatile granola as part of your breakfast, snack, or dessert lineup!
