Grain Free Granola Recipe
Enjoy this grain free granola recipe packed with nuts, coconut, and seeds! It’s gluten free; a healthy, protein-rich breakfast or snack!
Friends, the nights and mornings are getting chillier here in central Oregon. We love it, and we know that we’ll be in for a big surprise with how cold it gets in the winter. But first, let’s talk fall. Because summer has ended, and we wanted to take advantage of the last warm weekend, we savored a tiny bit more of the warm days, and experienced a late-afternoon float.
Our first almost-evening float. We got off the water at dusk.
It was our first float, ever, with our dog, Haggis. Who, by the way, loved it. We didn’t know how he’d do, but he did just fine.
Since I wrote this post last week, we packing up the kayaks to put away for the winter.
It’s hard to say goodbye to fall.
Grain Free Granola Recipe
A snack that we took with us to munch on was Abby’s Grain Free Granola!
Before Abby left for college, she made sure that we were stocked up on this yummy recipe.
She made a double batch, making sure we were well taken care of.
We love a bowl with almond milk.
Or just by itself.
This is a popular recipe for those on a grain-free diet.

This is the third time I have made this and it’s really good. I needed something my husband would eat when I’m out of town. Thank you so much for all your recipes and your thoughtful blog. I almost always look here first for new ideas.

I love your blue and white bowls. Do you know who they are made by?
Jane, I love them, too. They came with our fixer upper house (original owners since 1984). The pattern is Blue Danube.
Love this idea of leaving out the oats. I’ve been buying Bobs Red Mill GF Oats when I make mine. I’ll have to try this version.
We were in SR one December for a 2 week vacation and it snowed the entire time we were there and there was already about 2′ of snow when we arrived. We LOVED it! Went into Bend for their CHristmas parade which was a pretty fun experience too. Have a fun winter!!
