No Nut Baked Granola Recipes

NUT FREE GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F / 160°C. Line a big baking tray with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, mix together the oats, wheat germ, coconut flakes, cinnamon, ginger and sea salt flakes.
• In a small bowl, mix together the honey and coconut oil. You can heat it in the microwave for about 10 seconds to help it mix together more easily.
• Pour the honey mixture over the dry mixture and stir everything together very well, until all the oats look well coated. Tip the oats mixture onto the baking tray and use a spatula to spread it all out evenly.
• Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, stirring everything once halfway through. Remove the pan from the oven and do not stir again if you like clusters. Allow the granola to cool completely.
• Once the granola has completely cooled, break apart any large clusters. Mix in the raisins and banana chips.
• Store in an airtight container. It should last up to 2 weeks, but use your best judgment depending on how dry/crunchy you like your granola toasted.

HOMEMADE GRANOLA WITHOUT NUTS

Steps:

• Place brown sugar and water in a large microwavable bowl and dissolve the sugar in the water for 2-3 minutes (I stir after each minute to check on the progress).
• Add the oatmeal and mix until well coated. Add honey or cinnamon or any other ingrediens you desire. Mix well.
• Line a couple cookie sheets with parchment paper. (Cookie sheets wih sides will make it easier to stir.) Place the oatmeal mixture in a thin layer onto sheets.
• Bake at 275 for one hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
• Let cool and place into air tight container. Will keep for about 2 weeks.

NUTTY BAKED GRANOLA

• In a small saucepan combine coconut oil and honey until coconut butter melts. Stir in Carnation Breakfast Essentials® Rich Milk Chocolate Powdered Drink Mix. Drizzle over the oats mixture; toss to coat. Spread evenly in the prepared pan.
• Bake about 20 minutes or until light brown, stirring after 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Stir in dried fruit.
• Spread granola on a large piece of foil to cool. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days. (Or place in freezer bags and freeze up to 2 months.

PERFECT NO-BAKE GRANOLA BARS

Steps:

• Cover a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• Pulse oats in a food processor just until slightly ground. Transfer to a large bowl. Repeat with flax seeds, then almonds, and finally pumpkin seeds, pulsing just one ingredient at a time.

• Mix almond butter, peanut butter, honey, coconut milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla together in a quart-sized bowl until well combined. Pour wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until well blended. Spread thinly onto the prepared cookie sheet.
• Place in the freezer until solid, about 1 hour.
• Remove from the freezer, dust with oat bran, and cut into 24 bars. Store in a zip-top bag in the refrigerator.
