Baked berry granola with three kinds of sweet berries and SunButter for an oil-free option. Perfect to make ahead for breakfast and snacking!

Triple Berry Granola (Oil-Free!) by Flora & Vino

Granola doesn’t last long in my house. 

It’s one of the staples that both M and I eat daily, piling it high on big breakfast bowls or grabbing a handfuls before an evening workout. 

If you’re a bit of a granola connoisseur like I am, you know the good stuff it can be expensive.

So, for the past few weeks I’ve been making us homemade granola on a regular basis. 

This is either the beginning of a granola series or the beginnings of a granola product line…ha!

Anyway, it’s been really fun testing new variations each Sunday. 

I bake the mixture in the oven and then break it into cherished chunks before transferring it to an airtight bag for the week. 

When I asked M what granola flavor he wanted this week, he requested “something fruity or tart.”

So I made this Triple Berry Granola (Oil-Free!) and infused it with three kinds of berries for a perfectly sweet and chunky granola. 

It’s totally gluten-free, oil-free, and naturally-sweetened with maple syrup and berries!

This is one of those rare recipes where I felt like a *true* creative. 

If you’re thinking, “But Lauren, you create new recipes every day!”, well, gee, thanks friend. 

It’s true, I make recipes all of the time, but most of the time they’re modified versions of similar recipes found on the Internet, or, on my own site. 

But it’s rare that I get in the kitchen and just start throwing things together. 

This Triple Berry Granola (Oil-Free!), for example, I first made without even measuring the berries. 

Say, WHAT?!

If you know me, you know I measure every included ingredient, skimming the top like I learned in 8th graded Home Economics. 

This is the way.

However, my rebellion was rewarded in this case because M and I both agreed that this granola is the best I’ve ever made. 

Which is saying a lot because my Oil-Free Chunky Tahini Granola has been at the top of my list for years. 

I can’t wait for you to try it!

Here’s what you need:

  • gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats
  • pecans
  • walnuts
  • cinnamon
  • pure maple syrup
  • frozen mixed berries (I love blackberries, raspberries, blueberries)
  • Organic SunButter 

That’s it!

The key to this granola is a using a lower oven bake time for longer!

This yields crispier, crunchier granola that isn’t burned or overdone. 

Start by preheating the oven to 325°F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.

To start the granola we begin with berries! 

I wanted to literally infuse this granola with fresh berries, so I created a triple berry compote to coat the mixture. 

The recipe follows my general method for creating a sugar-free compote on the stovetop.

I used frozen berries for this recipe but fresh berries will work as well! 

Usually I prefer saving the fresh beautiful berries for eating raw so that’s the logic behind the frozen vs. fresh dilemma. 

Add the frozen mixed berries to a large saucepan and heat them over medium heat until they start to bubble.

I love a mix of raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries for a well-rounded mix of sweet and tart. 

At this point, let them simmer for 6-8 minutes until they start to thicken and stick to the pan.

Triple Berry Granola (Oil-Free!) by Flora & Vino

While you let the berry compote cool slightly, mix up the rest of the granola in a large bowl. 

Add the oats, pecans, walnuts, maple syrup, and Organic SunButter together in a large bowl.

The addition of sunflower seed butter in this recipe keeps the granola deliciously nutty and moist without any added oils! 

Pour the slightly cooled berry compote over the mixing bowl ingredients and mix well with a wooden spoon.

The mixture should be well coated and moist. 

If it looks *too* moist, that’s OK! 

The moisture will cook off while baking. 

Triple Berry Granola (Oil-Free!) by Flora & Vino

Crumble the mixture across the parchment covered baking sheet.

Use your hands or a spatula to ensure the granola is spread out as evenly as possible; some clumpy spots are OK. 

Transfer the pan to the even and bake it for about 35-40 minutes, watching closely towards the end to ensure it doesn’t burn. 

I recommend rotating the pan once halfway, but don’t stir anything! 

Once the granola is golden brown on top and around the edges, remove the pan from the oven.

Allow it to cool for at *least* 15 minutes before you touch it. 

I repeat, DO NOT touch the granola during this time! 

This will yield chunkier granola; just trust me on this one. 

After 15-30 minutes, break the granola into desired sized chunks and enjoy!

Triple Berry Granola (Oil-Free!) by Flora & Vino

Make this Triple Berry Granola (Oil-Free!) to have on hand for breakfasts, snacks, and desserts. 

If you don’t have three kinds of berries, no worries, you can use as many as you have available. 

For an entirely grain-free option, substitute extra nuts in for the rolled oats.

My favorite way to enjoy it is for breakfast on yogurt, oatmeal, or chia pudding.

It’s also fantastic with almond milk, by the handful, on ice cream, or in desserts.

The granola keeps in an airtight container for several weeks, but if your house is like mine, it won’t last long.

Enjoy!

IMAGINE YOUR STUFF SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST. 🤣 - T IMAGINE YOUR STUFF SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST. 🤣
-
This weekend I tackled cleaning and organizing a closet that I’d been avoiding. 🚪
-
It’s a spacious closet in my spare bedroom. It’s also the first place I put things I rarely use, storage stuff, and items that don’t have a home. Basically, it’s a giant walk-in “junk” drawer.
-
Over time, it’s gotten so full I could hardly open the door without a stuffed animal falling from the top shelf or stepping on a prickly Christmas wreath.
-
“Out of sight, out of mind,” I reasoned, keeping the door tightly shut. But I could feel the weight of the things through the walls. The cluttered closet had a pulse, a heaviness, a resistance. 
-
I was listening to @theminimalists podcast this week— the topic was letting go of “sentimental” stuff. They bluntly posed the question, “How would you feel if all of the stuff spontaneously combust?”
-
I thought about my closet, POOF, gone, in the blink of an eye. All of the things in there that I couldn’t even name, no longer my responsibility. Imagining all of that stuff taken from me in a catastrophe outside of my control, I felt relief. 
-
While I’m glad my closet didn’t *actually* implode, my reaction to the exercise made me realize that I needed to let go of some things to make space in my house, my head, and my heart.
-
So Saturday I shuffled through old stuff, filled boxes to donate, and stuffed trash bags. I didn’t let go of all of it, but it felt like a big step towards lightness and freedom. 
-
If you’ve been following me for a while you know that I’m on a constant journey towards a more minimalistic life. It’s a constant journey. I donate, I buy, I purge, I collect, I clutter, I minimize. 
-
I strive for everything I own to either have a purpose or bring me immense joy, and how can any possession do either buried under junk behind a shut door?
-
Today, I can walk into the closet unscathed and actually *see* my old high school yearbooks, two guitars, and toolboxes filled with paints and pencils from art school. 
-
Do you have a closet or space like this too? What have you been holding onto that you need to let go of this week? Please share!

CHICKPEA & WILD RICE SOUP is new on the blog today CHICKPEA & WILD RICE SOUP is new on the blog today. 🍲 Perfect for fickle spring weather that’s cold one minute and warm the next. I grew up eating cans of chicken and wild rice soup so this is a vegan and gluten-free tribute to the classic! This chickpea & wild rice soup packed with garbanzo beans, wild rice, and savory herbs in a light broth. It’s your new favorite veg-packed soup staple for all year round!
-
Did you know that most wild rice out there isn’t *real* wild rice? In this soup recipe, I used @edenfoods Wild Rice. //#sponsored This gluten-free whole grain is hand harvested by the Minnesota Leech Lake band of Ojibwe, Native Americans, by canoe! In learning more about wild rice production, I discovered that much of the wild rice sold isn’t authentic. *True* wild rice is Native American hand harvested from the wild by canoe, and is wood fire parched!
-
Authentic wild harvested wild rice ranges in color, cooks in only 25 to 30 minutes, is light and fluffy, and has a rich and delicious flavor, unlike the machine harvested stuff that’s black brown, chewy, and takes forever to cook. Outside of its great flavor, and texture, @edenfoods wild rice is rich in B3 and manganese and is a great source of fiber, B1, B2, magnesium, and zinc! It’s amazing added to this soup to keep everything thick and hearty.
