Gluten Free Cranberry Granola.
Buttery, sweet granola with dried cranberries, seeds, and chocolate chips is a delicious breakfast or snack. This simple recipe is great for everyday, and also perfect for gift giving.
Ingredients
- 3 cups certified gluten free oats
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 5 Tablespoons vegan buttery spread melted
- 5 Tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup sunflower seeds
- ⅓ cup dairy free chocolate chips or cacao nibs if you prefer
- ½ cup dried cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Put the melted vegan buttery spread in a large bowl and add the vanilla extract and honey or maple syrup. Stir to combine.
- Add the gluten free whole oats and stir well to coat.
- Spread the granola on the baking sheet and bake at 250 degrees for about 45-55 minutes, until it is golden brown. Stir every 15 minutes or so.
- Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool.
- If you are going to give this as a gift, layer in a quart sized jar: granola, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, and chocolate chips. (Alternately you can mix everything together and then put in the jar).
- Place the granola in the jar and put the lid on. Top with parchment paper and baker's twine, then tie a gift tag on and write a festive message to your recipient.
Notes
This granola should stay fresh in the jar for at least 7-10 days.
If you are not gifting this, you can store in an airtight container or resealable bag.
