Notes
Notes and substitutions:
- Quick oats
- You can also use rolled oats in this recipe.
- Almonds
- I recommend using unsalted sliced almonds or chopping whole almonds into smaller chunks.
- Walnuts
- Use chopped walnuts in this recipe or chop whole walnuts into smaller pieces.
- Sunflower seeds
- Make sure you use unsalted, raw and hulled sunflower seeds for this granola.
- Coconut oil
- You could also use melted butter or a mild-oil (like canola oil) instead of coconut oil.
- Maple syrup
- You could also use honey instead.
- Almond butter
- Alternatives to almond butter include peanut butter, sunflower butter or Wow butter.
- Gluten-free: opt for gluten-free oats and ensure there is no cross contamination with any gluten-containing products.
- Vegan: make sure you are using maple syrup instead of honey as the sweetener.
- Coconut-free: opt for a neutral oil (ex. canola oil) or butter instead of the coconut oil.
