Grain-Free Rosemary Granola
Valentina P
Once they've tried it, everyone begs me for this homemade granola recipe. Not cloyingly sweet (a nice reprieve from traditional granolas), and full of delicious flavor with it's fragrant notes of rosemary and fennel seed. Dried mulberries add a nice chewy bite alongside the toasted almonds and pecans. Naturally grain-free and perfect for sprinkling on yogurts or snacking on as is.

Shopping List
- 1 1/2 cups slivered almonds
- 1 cup pecans, roughly chopped
- 33333333/100000000 cup sunflower seeds
- 33333333/100000000 cup pumpkin seeds
- 33333333/100000000 cup dried mulberries
- 1/4 cup light olive oil (Note 1)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons flax meal
- 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Step 2: Combine all of the ingredients, except the dried mulberries, in a large bowl (we will add the fruit after baking to avoid burning). Stir well to combine.
- Step 3: Spread the granola evenly in a single layer onto a foil or parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, using a spatula to flip over the granola halfway through the cooking time.
- Step 4: Remove from the oven and transfer the parchment paper to a cooling rack (otherwise it will continue to toast on the baking sheet). Add the dried mulberries on top. The residual heat from the granola will soften the fruit without burning it. The granola will seem wet, but will dry as it cools. Note: For extra clusters, refrigerate or freeze the cooled granola directly on the sheet pan for 15 minutes before breaking into pieces.
- Serve: Enjoy as is or with yogurt, smoothies, or milk. Store the fully cooled granola in an airtight container on the counter or in the refrigerator.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: No light olive oil? Try using a 50/50 combination of extra-virgin olive oil and grapeseed (or avocado) oil.
