Finally! A cereal-substitute we like that reminds us of cereal!! The recipe I based this one off of is from Civilized Caveman and is found here. Thanks for the great recipe, Civilized Caveman!
Raisin Nut Crunch Cereal
Ingredients:
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
2 Tbsp. squash seeds (or more pumpkin seeds)
1/2 cup almond meal (I used dried almond pulp from making almond milk)
1 1/3 cup coconut
1 cup almonds, chopped
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
3 Tbsp. coconut oil
1/4 cup raw honey
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup raisins (added after cereal is baked)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. Combine all dry ingredients (except raisins).
3. Warm coconut oil and honey slightly so they are easily incorporated. Pour oil, honey and vanilla over dry ingredients. Mix well
4. Spread cereal mixture over large baking pan (15 x 10 or bigger) and bake at 325 degrees for 20 minutes. Take out of oven, stir mixture and bake for another 5-7 minutes.
5. Cool. Add raisins and serve with homemade coconut milk or homemade almond milk! Store in an airtight container.

What do you suggest for a serving size? Do you know calories per serving as well as fat, carbs and protein?
I just made it and it’s really good!
So do you sometime eat it with berries on it and a little almond milk over it?

Do you know if coconut flour can be substituted for the 1/2 cup of almond meal? I thought I had some almond meal/flour but evidently not and I’m trying to avoid going to the grocery store if at all possible. Thanks!

I ended up making some almond meal 🙂 It’s in the oven now – can’t wait to try it!

Love this! It makes so much, do you know if I can freeze part of it? Thanks for sharing.

I love how flexible this recipe is. I throw in Brazil nuts, hazel nuts, almonds, walnuts, pecans, or whatever else is around that seems like it would be good. It always turns out great! Even my grain-eater family and friends love this.
Fresh fruit is nice on top. Or, I like to add it to the top of yogurt as if it is granola. There are so many options!
Thank you so much for this recipe!

Great recipe. I had to change the liquids because of sugar issues. I doubled the coconut oil and vanilla, added half teaspoon liquid stevia and added an egg white to hold it together. Personal preference will be to make it a tad sweeter, but it was still really good! Thank you.

Do you think this recipe will work substituting Liquid Stevia for the Raw Honey (I don’t have any honey on hand)? I was thinking about trying 1/4 teaspoon of LS in place of the 1/2 cup RH. Thoughts?

I am hoping to experiment with Stevia soon but haven’t at this point so I have no idea what to tell you 🙂 Sorry!

I am wondering if maple syrup can be used in place of honey? I have read it is healthier to cook with maple syrup rather than honey.

I would think it would work in this recipe.

Is almond meal same as almond flour?

In this recipe, almond flour, almond meal and dried almond pulp all should work. Almond flour/meal are generally the same thing–at least with the brand I use (Bob’s Red Mill).

I just finished eating a bowl of this granola with cranberries rather than raisins, and it is SO good! Thank you for this recipe!

Hi Jennifer,
Just wanted to tell you how much I am enjoying your granola recipe. It is very easy to make and delicious!! Really, no different than if it had oatmeal in it!
I have been looking for ways to cut back on the gluten free grains I eat, and this is a welcome addition to my breakfast menu. Thanks. God Bless!

This looks delicious! I really miss having the option of just pouring cereal into a bowl and being done with breakfast prep 🙂 Looking forward to trying this over the weekend…
