Pumpkin Spice Granola (gluten free, nut free, AIP)

Jump to Recipe

2 bowls of granola on table

Finally! A healthy gluten free, nut free, and AIP granola! 

This autoimmune protocol friendly Pumpkin Spice Granola is perfect no matter the application: topping my Caramel Apple Parfaits, eaten straight out of hand, or in a bowl mingling with a splash of coconut milk. It’s totally nut free (I told you, it’s AIP!), crunchy, slightly sweet and spicy, and my new favorite snack.

Here’s how it came about…

Last Christmas I partnered up with two blogger friends to make a free holiday cookie ebook, Paleo Cookie Exchange. Included in it is a recipe called Coconut Cinnamon Toast Crunch, which is a combination of maple sweetened coconut flakes, toasted pecans, and ground cinnamon. This year, my friends and I decided to expand our ebook with a few new recipes, and I knew I wanted to do an AIP compliant spin-off on my previous “coconut cereal”.

Let me just say, if the first recipe tastes like Cinnamon Toast Crunch, this AIP Pumpkin Spice Granola recipe tastes like the most delicious Raisin Bran you can imagine. The combination of ground cinnamon, ground ginger, sea salt, and maple is the perfect amount of fall sweetness. The raisins and cherries add a pop of flavor and chewy texture against the crispy coconut flakes.

I’ve been prepping at least one batch of this AIP Pumpkin Spice Granola every week since August, and my family hasn’t grown tired of it yet. We’ll pack it in our lunches to eat by the handful, and enjoy it as dessert with coconut milk poured on top. You better believe we make a second batch if we run out early in the week! I don’t often say this about my recipes, but this AIP Pumpkin Spice Granola blows my former Coconut Cinnamon Toast Crunch straight out of the water.

My goal with creating AIP recipes is always to include a few healing ingredients, and this AIP Pumpkin Spice Granola isn’t any different. So if you’re looking for a healthy, healing fall treat, look no further.

Pin Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups raw coconut flakes (like this)
  • 2 cups raw shredded coconut (like this)
  • ½ cup organic raisins
  • ½ cup dried cherries (like this)
  • ¼ cup pure, grade B maple syrup (like this)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger (reduce to ½ teaspoon for a less spicy version)
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
  2. In a large bowl, combine coconut, raisins, and cherries.
  3. Add maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, and sea salt. Stir with a rubber spatula until the coconut and fruit are well coated.
  4. Spread out on a parchment lined baking sheet, and bake for about 10-15 minutes, stirring after about 7 minutes of baking time. Remove from oven when the coconut flakes are golden brown.
  5. Let cool on baking sheet. The coconut flakes will crisp and form larger clumps as they cool.
  6. Enjoy as a handful of granola, or in a bowl with coconut milk and an extra sprinkle of cinnamon.

👉 do you have digestive issues? 👉 because 👉 do you have digestive issues? 

👉 because of high stress lifestyles, many of us have an overworked, under-functioning digestive system, imbalanced intestinal flora and a continuous flow of intestinal toxins seeping into the bloodstream 😩 • constipation, diarrhea 💩, gas 💨, heartburn 🔥 + IBS are common complaints of many adults in the US

👉 impaired digestion leads to intestinal toxemia • slow digestion + constipation allow bacteria in the gut to act upon undigested food, producing toxic chemicals and gases that damage the mucous lining, resulting in increased intestinal permeability known as leaky gut • leaky gut can lead to inflammation , food sensitivities, autoimmune reactions, anxiety, depression, acne, + so much more

👉 the colon is one of our major drainage pathways for eliminating toxins + wastes out of the body • it’s no surprise that there has been a huge up-tick in colon cancer as environmental toxins + constipation have increased 

👉 what if our medical system had a better understanding of drainage pathways + the importance of digestive health? • what if our primary doctors talked to us about parasites, pathogens, enemas, saunas, hydration, mindful eating, low stomach acid, + real nutrition? • what if our food system wasn’t corporate sponsored and geared towards profits instead of health? 

👉 i personally had to see 5 different integrative + functional medicine practitioners in order to find real healing • none of it was covered by my insurance • not everyone can afford this • how do millions of people in the country suffer from digestive issues (which lead to a whole host of chronic health issues) but we have no real answer, just band-aids? • how much 💰 does the pharmaceutical industry make from these digestive issues • just starting the conversation • bc i see so many people suffering ❤️

👉P.S. my intention is not to harp on conventional medicine • i’ve been an RN for almost 17 years working bedside with women + their families • i’m speaking from my personal experience of seeing my patient population get sicker + sicker over the years • we are not doing it right • we are missing the mark 🎯
🎂🎂 i’m always looking for a reason to cele 🎂🎂 i’m always looking for a reason to celebrate • finding those small pockets of joy ✨✨ • so when someone i LOVE has a birthday, this is the cake i like to make ❤️ • BROWNIE BOTTOM ICE CREAM CAKE • two layers of your favorite ice cream nested on top of the most delicious gluten + grain free (+ vegan) brownie layer topped with fresh whipped cream, berries, + shaved chocolate • so easy to make and so fun to eat • to make dairy, use dairy free ice cream + coconut whipped cream
