How To Make Gluten-Free Granola
Pre-heat Oven to 325 degrees F.
- Mix Sunflower or Almond Butter with Maple Syrup over very low heat until well blended. Remove from heat.
- Add all remaining ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Add Sunflower Butter Mixture. Combine until well mixed.
- Spread the Granola Mixture onto a large-rimmed prepared baking sheet. Coat the baking sheet with coconut oil or olive oil before spreading the mixture to prevent sticking. Press the mixture down into an even layer. Alternatively, you can line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the pan in a 325-degree oven for 20-25 minutes until it is light golden brown. For best results, do not overbake.
- Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature before breaking your homemade granola into chunks.
