It is 100% gluten-free when you use certified oats that are gluten free. This recipe is pretty much fool proof! You can have the kids help make it and you pretty much can’t mess it up. You can add other add-ins as well, chocolate chips, walnuts, cashews other dried fruits. The options are endless.
Ingredients Needed

- Almond Extract. This makes the granola taste a little sweeter and better than your average granola.
- Coconut Oil. This give the granola a nice crispy texture once it’s baked enough. You may also use canola oil in place of coconut oil if you’d prefer.
- Honey or Maple syrup. This sweetens the granola and keeps it sticky so it can clump together. Use maple syrup to make this gluten-free almond cranberry granola vegan!

Hi Bailey!
Been wanting to make this since you posted on Instagram. I made it yesterday and we ate it all already. Will make again. I used dried blueberries instead and it was great. You should try it next time.
This is a great tip – love the blueberry idea!
Great recipe! Iโll never buy granola again. The best thing about it is that you can really customize it. I added pumpkin seeds in addition to the almonds and walnuts. I also used raisins instead of cranberries just because I had them on hand. Thanks for the recipe!
Hi Angie, so happy to hear you loved this recipe as much as I do! Enjoy all the fun combinations with this recipe. Pumpkin seeds are a great idea!
