    Oil Free Granola

    Breakfast is really important, so if you don't have much time, you can make a big batch of granola once or twice a month. You just need to mix it with your favorite plant milk and you have your breakfast ready in just 1 minute! You can also add other ingredients like fresh fruits or some nut butter.

    It's also a perfect snack and I always bring granola with me when I travel, just in case I can't find anything to eat. This recipe is also oil-free, so is even lighter and lower in fat and you won't even notice, I promise!

    If you like granola, have a look at these two delicious recipes: vegan mango granola and peanut butter granola. You can remove the oil and add more maple or agave syrup.

    Oil Free Granola

    Granola is usually made with nuts, seeds, rolled oats, dried fruits and honey, but maple and agave syrup taste amazing, are super healthy and cruelty-free! I've always added extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil, but it's not necessary at all.

    Oil Free Granola

    To make the granola you just need to mix all the ingredients in a big bowl. I prefer to heat the wet ingredients in a saucepan because it's easy to mix them with the dry ingredients if they're hot, but if you don't use coconut oil, you can remove this step.

    Then you have to spread the granola onto a baking tray, bake it for 25 minutes and that's all! I usually stir the granola once or twice while baking to get a crumbly granola, but this is not necessary, it's totally up to you.

    Oil Free Granola

    Cashew milk is my favorite plant milk, but almond milk also tastes really awesome. However, I prefer to drink oat milk because is delicious and lighter than nut milks. You can find the recipe in our 10 Easy Vegan Recipes FREE eCookbook. Homemade plant milks taste better and they're usually more affordable.

    Oil Free Granola

    If you don't like Goji berries or you can't find them, don't worry, feel free to use other dried fruits, nuts or seeds, this recipe is super easy to make and always works.

      Hi there,
      How do I calculate portion calories? 1/10th doesn’t really help me. I usually put 1/3 c in my bowl. Can you help?
