Nut-Free Granola

Step 1

You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius).

Step 2

Add all dry ingredients into a big bowl and stir with a spoon.

Step 3

Next, add dried fruit of choice (check the recipe notes below for options), maple syrup, sunflower seed butter, and vanilla extract. Stir with a spoon until all dry ingredients are coated and everything is well mixed.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture onto the lined baking sheet and spread it out evenly.

Step 5

Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, stirring halfway through. Then gently press the stirred granola down with a wooden spoon (or spatula) so that it sticks together.

Step 6

Check after 16-18 minutes if the granola is already lightly brown. Watch it closely, to avoid burning. Remove the baking sheet from the oven.

Step 7

Let it cool completely without touching it. Once it gets cooler, the granola will crisp up. Store in air-tight containers.

Step 8
