If you love chewy, chunky granola clusters, you will go crazy for Homemade Gluten Free Granola recipe! This is hands down the best granola flavored with orange zest, warm spices, and sweetened with pure maple syrup.

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups gluten free rolled oats,
  • ½ cup cashews, (whole or chopped)
  • ½ cup almonds, (whole or chopped)
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg, (I used freshly grated)
  • zest of 1 orange
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 325ºF. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl mix together rolled oats, cashews, almonds, cinnamon, nutmeg and orange zest.

  3. 3

    In a small saucepan melt together butter, maple syrup, brown sugar, and salt. Once the butter has melted and ingredients are mixed together, pour over dry ingredients. Stir to combine. 

  4. 4

    Dump the mixed granola onto one lined baking sheet, spreading it out evenly. Lay the second piece of parchment on top of the granola, and place the second baking sheet (right-side up) on top of the parchment. You have a baking sheet / granola sandwich.

  5. 5

    Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Rotate and continue baking for 15-20 minutes, or until granola edges are golden brown, but middle is still soft.

  6. 6

    Remove top baking sheet and parchment and cool, undisturbed, without stirring. After granola has cooled completely break into chunks.
