    This simple gluten free salty & sweet granola is a healthy homemade option for breakfast. It is easy to make this simple cereal recipe. No need to buy expensive gluten free granola if you can easily DIY it at home!

    I'm not a big fan of granola that is super sweet, especially if I'm going to eat it for breakfast. This recipe has the perfect combination of salty and sweet for me. The granola is great on its own or with yogurt and berries.

    I like to make a double batch and store it for a few days in an airtight container. I also highly suggest a double batch if you aren't going to eat the granola with anything else. It's delicious and will go fast.

    Ingredients

    Gluten Free Rolled Oats
    Pecans
    Coconut Flakes
    Ground Cinnamon
    Sea Salt
    Coconut Oil
    Maple Syrup
    Almond Butter or Peanut Butter

    Instructions

    Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

    In a large mixing bowl combine the gluten free rolled oats, pecans, coconut flakes, cinnamon and sea salt. Add in the coconut oil, maple syrup and almond butter. Stir until all the oats are coated and the ingredients begin to clump together.

    Pour mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and press the granola down firmly with the bottom a measuring cup or drinking glass. Pressing the granola now will ensure you get some chunks when it cools.

    Bake for 30 minutes at 300 degrees. When the granola comes out of the oven and is still hot press it down with the measuring cup again to make sure you get nice chunks of granola after it cools.

    Let cool completely before breaking apart.

    Store in an airtight container for up to a week.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can you eat granola if you are gluten free?

    The short answer is yes, but you will want to make sure it is certified gluten free or made from certified gluten free oats. Regular oats and oatmeal tend to be processed along with wheat flour, which means they may be contaminated with gluten. You can't just check the ingredient list, you need to make sure you check for the gluten free certification!

    What is gluten free granola?

    The granola being gluten free is really about how the oats or oatmeal are being processed. It may not have different ingredients from regular granola. Be sure the rolled oats or oatmeal are certified gluten free.

    If the rolled oats or oatmeal are not certified gluten free there is a high chance they were processed with wheat flour.

    Is gluten free granola less calories?

    Unfortunately, no. Being gluten free doesn't have anything to do with how many calories are in the recipe. Gluten free oats don't contain less calories than any other oats.

    Gluten Free Peach Crisp

    This gluten free peach crisp is easy to make with oats and canned peaches. This recipe is similar to the old fashioned crisp made with oatmeal my mom used to make and serve with vanilla ice cream. This is the best homemade gluten free crisp recipe!

    two bowls of gluten free peach cobbler with whipped cream

    This gluten free peach crisp recipe is great for a fast dessert. It's delicious served warm or at room temp so it's great to take for a picnic. We like it plain, but it never hurts to add a dollop of homemade whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

    [feast_advanced_jump_to]

    Ingredients

    Canned Sliced Peaches in Juice
    Granulated Sugar
    Arrowroot Powder
    Lemon Juice
    Gluten Free Rolled Oats
    Brown Sugar
    Brown Rice Flour
    Sea Salt
    Unsalted Butter
    Pecans

    Instructions

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

    In a mixing bowl stir together the canned peaches, sugar, arrowroot powder and lemon juice. Pour into a greased 9x13 baking dish. Set aside.

    In your stand mixer place the gluten free rolled oats, brown sugar, brown rice flour, sea salt, melted butter and pecans. Blend together until you get a crumbly mixture. Pour this crumbly mixture over the peaches in your baking dish.

    Bake for 30 minutes or until peach mixture is bubbling and topping is slightly browned.

    Top Tip

    I used canned peaches in juice. This is important because if you try to use canned peaches in syrup they will be way too sweet. Juice versus syrup makes a big difference in how recipes will turn out.

    Supplies

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the difference between a crumble and a crisp?

    The biggest difference is that a crisp contains oats and a crumble does not. Both a crumble and crisp are a topping that goes over a fruit mixture and is baked until bubbling and browned.

    A crisp gets its name because the oats in the topping will become crispy when baked. A crumble is usually made with a flour base and will not be crispy.

    Is gluten free peach crisp simple to make?

    Yes! This is a very simple recipe to make. I make it frequently because it's easy to put together and to have a dessert in a hurry. You could even make it the day before you need it.

    Paleo Chocolate Cupcakes (GF, DF)

    cake plate with paleo chocolate cupcakes

    This healthy recipe for paleo chocolate cupcakes is easy to make from scratch. These are the best homemade cupcakes! They are simple, moist and best of all gluten free.

    Sometimes I miss really great, gluten filled chocolate cake. The kind you can buy at any store. With rich chocolate frosting that is full of sugar. But, then I think about the calories and the inflammation it will cause and it's not actually worth it.

    It's good to have a delicious alternative for those chocolate cake cravings. These paleo chocolate cupcakes have a great texture that makes it hard to believe there isn't any flour in them. They rise nicely in the oven and from what I remember taste like a store bought cupcake (I've been gluten-free for over five years).

    cake plate with paleo chocolate cupcakes

    The recipe I used for the "icing" is actually a chocolate avocado pudding. It has coconut oil in it so if it seems too runny for frosting you can put it in the fridge for an hour or two and it gets a more frosting like texture.

    Honestly it tastes like really dark chocolate frosting so it having a little more pudding texture doesn't bother me at all. I think the combination is delicious!

    I used my Paleo Chocolate Pudding recipe for the frosting.

    Paleo Chocolate Pudding

    small bowl of paleo chocolate pudding with a spoon

    This paleo chocolate pudding is an easy homemade dessert recipe to make when you are craving something delicious. This healthy version of chocolate pudding is easy to make from scratch. This recipe is made without cornstarch, gluten or dairy.

    Some days just call for paleo chocolate pudding! This dark, creamy recipe is perfect for those days. It stores well for a couple of days in the fridge and works really well for homemade pudding cups.

    I don't mind eating this chocolate pudding right out of the blender, but it's even better when it's chilled. It's easy to make ahead for a perfect dessert.

    If you are looking for more healthy pudding recipes try my Gluten Free Chia Pudding Breakfast Parfait.

    My favorite cocoa powder is from Thrive Market. Thrive Market has been a life saver when it comes to finding gluten free, dairy free and paleo options!

    Is chocolate pudding dairy free?

    Not all pudding is dairy free. If you are eating paleo or a dairy free diet you need to be careful of box mixes. Make sure you are reading the ingredient list and checking the label to see if there is a cross contamination in processing the mix.

    Honestly, it's just as quick to put together this pudding recipe as it is to buy a box mix. If you put the pudding together from a recipe yourself you can be sure it is dairy free.

    Can chocolate pudding be made with almond milk?

    Yes! This recipe is made with almond milk. You could also use coconut milk if you don't want to use a nut milk. I replace dairy milk with almond milk in recipes and have not had a problem with how the recipes turn out.

    How do I make chocolate pudding pie?

    This recipe for paleo chocolate pudding can be poured into a prepared pie crust to make a very easy chocolate pudding pie. You can top the pie with coconut milk whipped cream and have a quick dessert ready in no time!
