Breakfast is often a problem for those with food allergies. Which makes sense if you think about it – eggs, wheat, milk, and nuts are all common breakfast items, and all common allergens as well.

I know it’s easy to get stuck eating the exact same thing for breakfast. This is especially true if you have limited choices!

We love homemade granola at my house, and I like to mix things up by making variations on a basic recipe. Double chocolate granola, coconut granola, and this easy maple granola with raisins are all favorites at my house.

Substitutions

  • You can use a different sweetener if you wish – honey or agave syrup should work well.
  • Use craisins or dried cherries instead of raisins, or leave the raisins out and enjoy this granola plain.
  • If you can have nuts, try adding pecans or almonds.
  • If you like chocolate, try adding some white chocolate chips and dark chocolate chips to this recipe.

      Thanks for pinning, Chelsea! Yes, that is an Anthro bowl and it was recently on clearance. It’s called the Marshmallow Bowl.

    Using the vegan butter is such a great idea for a change over coconut oil (which I usually use). I love recipes that are a great base for customization! This is exactly the kind of thing I like to make when I just feel like putzing around in the kitchen :)

    I’ve never made my own granola but I think it’s time to start. Isn’t it crazy the simple something (food related) the more expensive. It’s ludacris! ;) Thanks for sharing this granola recipe. Yummm!
