Nut Free Granola is the perfect addition to your breakfast. Because it is made of quinoa flakes and seeds it is high in protein and other nutrients. And not to worry, it is absolutely yummy as well.
My original recipe for this super healthy and delicious granola is actually NUTTY GRANOLA. However, my younger daughter doesn’t like nuts, therefore I created also a NUT FREE GRANOLA. In fact, lots of people are allergic to nuts and those of you who like them can add them very easily.
As you can see, this recipe could be quite versatile and you can adjust the flavor based on your preference. For example, adding nuts and seeds before you bake it and dried fruits after. Coconut flakes before or after. You can also adjust the flavour, lets say with cinnamon instead of vanilla.
Or you can just make it plain, the choice is yours, so get creative! I promise you, once you try it you will get addicted like me. Just go a head and see how many recipes with this granola I made. Altough, to tell you the truth, I love to eat it just the way it is, or just with fresh fruit on the side. By the way, the brand of QUINOA FLAKES I am using is GoGo Quinoa Cereal-Quinoa Flakes. It is available on Amazon, however, you can use other brand as well.
However, the latest recipe I made with this NUT FREE GRANOLA is BERRY PARFAIT, so you may like check it out, because it’s absolutely dreamy. And if you have any questions or suggestions, I would love to hear from you.
