Homemade Granola – Sugar Free

Bytheelizabethchu

Do you know what’s better than a bag of store-bought ‘healthy, organic’ granola? Homemade granola. Why? Because the price is low and heartiness is high.

This recipe contains no added sugar, no preservatives, and no additives – natural, wholesome, and clean ingredients ONLY. I love adding it on top of greek yogurt, chia pudding, and oatmeal. Try out the recipe and see how amazing it’ll make you feel.

a spoon does the trick
store in an air-tight jar to maintain freshness

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup of oats
  • 1/4 almond slices
  • 1/4 unsweetened coconut shreds
  • 1/4 water
  • 6 pitted dates
I use mason jars to pack my granola

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375F
  2. Add the oats, almond slices, and coconut shreds into a medium-sized bowl. mix well.
  3. Combine the dates and water into a blender, and blend until it reaches a nice sticky watery consistency. This will act as the bond for the granola.
  4. Pour the date bond into the medium-sized bowl, and mix all the ingredients together until it turns into a thick moldable mixture.
  5. Line/oil an 8×8 baking sheet and pour the granola mixture. Using a spoon, spread the granola mixture evenly around the pan (this will ensure the granola cook evenly).
  6. Pop the pan into the oven and bake it for 15 minutes.
  7. Take the pan out and break up the now-half-baked granola mixture – move the inner pieces to the outside, and outer pieces to the inside.
  8. Put it back in the oven and bake for another 10 minutes (keep an eye on the granola, the granola can easily burn at this step if not careful).
  9. When the granola looks crispy and golden, take them out of the oven and let them cool.
  10. Once cooled, pack the granola in an air-tight jar and it is ready to be enjoyed.
