Nut Free Granola

 

 So.. who doesn't like granola? I know a lot of people that love granola, and pay a premium price to acquire it for their taste buds. Others pay even more because of the allergens that limit them, such as nuts.

 

Perhaps you have wanted to make your own, but don't feel like you have the time or know-how?  Well, look no further, I present you.. Nut-Free Granola that you can make in 20 minutes or LESS! Did I mention that you don't have to bake it? Forget that expensive store-bought granola! Make yourself some of this yumminess, and enjoy it!

 MMMM.. Nut-free Granola.

A tasty, no-bake, allergen free granola everyone can love!

Ingredients

• 3 cups of oats (GF oats if desired)
• 2 cups of puffed rice
• ½ of hulled sunflower seeds
• ½ (or less) agave nectar (or other liquid sweetener: honey, maple syrup, etc.)
• ¼ cup coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon of hemp seed
• 1 tablespoon of chia seed
• 2 tablespoons of cocoa nibs
• a handful of cranberries

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, throw all your ingredients in and mix. Once the ingredients are thoroughly combined it should be a kind of sticky consistency. You can either just put your bowl in the fridge and wait for your peanut-allergen child/friend eat it right up; or you can press it into a greased 8x8 pan and make granola bars! Boom, that's it!

Notes

It may be a bit crumbly for granola bars, just be warned! You can mix in any ingredients you have on hand, this is just what I had. :)
