Grain-Free Granola

A little crunch and a little sweet are often missed when you go low carb. This recipe quite satisfies. For GAPS/SCD, omit the chia and substitute a half cup of honey for the stevia. (Although, I have to say I do not understand that prohibition against stevia in GAPS/SCD. It doesn’t feed bacteria and I don’t believe it irritates the lining of the gut.)

Grain-Free Granola
Ingredients:

  • 8 cups nuts of choice, raw, or soaked and dehydrated. Mix of cashews, walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts,…
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 cup nut flour of choice, almond or hazelnut
  • 4 Tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 Tbsp ground ginger
  • ¼ cup ground chia (I use a coffee grinder)
  • ½ cup coconut oil, gently melted
  • ½ cup water
  • 6 droppers full alcohol free stevia extract (150 drops)

    Directions:
    Preheat oven to 250 F.

    Mix dry ingredients together well. Whisk together the wet ingredients. Mix all thoroughly.

    Spread on two half sheet pans (approximately 12 x 17). Bake for one hour.

    Cool and enjoy with choice of milk, coconut kefir, or on its own as a snack.

    Makes approximately one gallon. One gallon seem like too much? It’s easy to cut the recipe in half!

    But, around my house, a gallon doesn’t last nearly long enough.
