Gluten free granola (no oats)
Serves 4-8This recipe serves 4 if you intend to eat giant bowls of pure granola (with no yoghurt etc). If you serve it in smaller portions alongside fruit and yoghurt, it will serve more people. *Recipe is in Australian cups. Use gram weights for International accuracy.
Ingredients
- 200 g (2 cups)* white or brown rice flakes
- 200-300 g (2 cups)* nuts and seeds of choice (suggested combination in the notes)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon optional
- 125 g (1/3 cup)* rice malt syrup
- 75 g (1/4 cup)* maple syrup
- 75 g (1/4 cup)* natural smooth peanut butter (only ingredients should be peanuts and salt) or tahini or other nut butter of choice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C/356F. Line a large rimmed baking tray.
- Add all the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Add the wet ingredients, then stir thoroughly until all the nuts and seeds are thoroughly coated in the wet ingredients. Some small chunks of nut butter are OK, but large chunks of unmixed wet ingredients will make for an average granola.
- Once you’re happy, spread the granola onto your lined baking tray. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool almost completely on the tray to allow the granola to form clumps. Break the granola into clumps of your choosing. Serve with fruit and milk or yoghurt. Store leftovers in an airtight container on the bench.
Notes
- Australian cups are 250ml, whereas American cups are 240ml.
- If you intend to use cups to measure the nuts, using heaping 1/4 cups for each nut or seed.
- Serving sizes are highly dependent on how much granola you eat and what you’re eating it with.
- For a low FODMAP granola, see my recipe here.
- Mix of nuts that I used in the photos: (but you can use ¼ cups of each for more variety, or 1 cup of each depending on what you have on hand/dietaries:
- 75g (½ cup) walnuts or peanuts
- 75g (½ cup) almonds (I used a combination of slivered and flaked)
- 75g (½ cup) pepitas
- 30g (½ cup) shredded coconut or ½ cup hemp seeds
