Gluten Free Sunbutter Crunch Granola

Sunbutter Crunch Granola

Continuing on with my goal to eat more breakfast in 2013, I came up with this quick recipe for gluten free and nut free granola crunch. This recipe has just 5 ingredients, requires hardly any work and best of all, can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container for when the need to crunch strikes you.

Personally I like to layer this crunch with non-fat Greek yogurt and berries in a sort of parfait. I mean, who doesn’t like eating dessert for breakfast? It feels indulgent when it is really not.

You can certainly eat this Sunbutter Crunch Granola in a bowl with the milk of your choice if you prefer to go the more typical breakfast route.

So far my 2013 is working out nicely; I am eating more breakfast, drinking less coffee and getting more exercise. In fact, if I really must go to the coffee shop, I ride my bike. I feel like the benefits outweigh the vice!

How’s your year going so far?

    Thanks for this. My husband loves granola, but commerical gluten-free granola is filled with processed-looking stuff that doesn’t appeal to me. I like that this is natural and not loaded with sugar. Since we can eat nuts, I might just add some.

      My pleasure and if you can have nuts, that would make a lovely addition. Enjoy!

    could I use a creamy almond butter or regular creamy peanut butter? can I add dried cranberries – or would they become too hard during the baking?

    I just tried this recipe … absolutely delish! Did a little substitution (almond butter) since I didn’t have quite enough sunflower butter on hand, but it came out great.
    Thanks Carol, I’m looking forward to trying many more recipes from this site.

    How should this be stored? Could it be stored at room temperature – and for how many days? Would it be ok on a five-hour bus ride? Thank you.

      Hi Katherine,

      Yes, it can be stored at room temperature, unless you live in a hot climate then I’d suggest refrigerating it if storing for a couple days, just to make sure it holds its texture. I’d suggest 3 days, maybe up to 5. Yes, it would be ok on a five-hour bus ride.

      Hope you enjoy it!

      xo,
      Carol
