I’ll admit I’m a terrible recipe developer (ugh) because I usually don’t measure anything and in the end it’s all about personal preference. I like to think of my recipes as guides or bases for you to add on to, depending on your own personal taste. This Grain Free Granola, for example, is basically just a bunch of ingredients thrown in a bowl, with a bunch of other ingredients melted to make the ingredients in the bowl sticky. Not groundbreaking and not something you have to be meticulous about!

If you prefer cashews over almonds, or want to add pecans, or don’t like coconut, or want to add in chia or flax seeds, or want to use maple syrup instead of honey, or prefer lighter and less sweet, or don’t want oil – you get where I’m going – those alterations are easy just as long as you make sure the final dry mixture is lightly coated in sticky sweet stuff before you pop it in the oven. I’d love to hear your variations on this in comments! xo
