    Chewy Rawnola

    Jan 21, 2015 • Breakfast, Follicular Phase, Quick & Easy, Snacks

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    Chewy Rawnola - vegan, gluten free and oil free - Use as a topping for chia pudding, banana ice cream, smoothie bowls or enjoy by the handful for a healthy snack.

    Granola turned into chewy Rawnola. So sweet and seriously addicting. Seriously. 

    I’ve been addicted to granola since… forever…? Can you relate?

    Most times, I’ll just scoop handfuls out of the bag to snack on… but that bag ain’t cheap. Especially the high quality brands. Plus it usually has sweeteners, oils, nuts and what not… granola can be fattening and full of sugar if you aren’t paying attention to the ingredient label. Since I’m following #oilfreejanuary, I ventured out and created a simple homemade batch. There’s a version of a Rawnola recipe in my plant based starter guide but this recipe is a version of Loni Jane’s “Rawnola” that everyone on instagram is obsessed with. 

    Chewy Rawnola - vegan, gluten free and oil free - Use as a topping for chia pudding, banana ice cream, smoothie bowls or enjoy by the handful for a healthy snack.

    I’m in love with this Chewy Rawnola and couldn’t stop snacking on it. Marty would have eaten the entire batch if I didn’t say “Hey wait a second!” He literally said he could eat it everyday in place of cereal. I love using it as a topping for chia pudding, nice cream, smoothies, over a bowl of fresh fruit or in place of cereal. All you do is process the ingredients in a food processor until it reaches a sticky-like consistency. The stickiness and sweetness comes from the medjool dates (aka nature’s sweetener!) which help to hold it all together and make it crumbly.

    Do you have any recommendations on where to buy medjool dates? I’ve been buying them from Trader Joe’s but I would rather buy them in bulk. They are super gooey, soft and incredibly sweet. They also make the perfect fat-free snack on their own.

    Chewy Rawnola

    • Total Time: 10
    Print Recipe
    Pin Recipe

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1/2 cup gluten free rolled oats
    • 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut, shredded or flaked (I combined both)
    • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (I like saigon cinnamon)
    • 1/2 tablespoon coconut sugar, optional (or raw cane sugar)
    • 8–10 medjool dates, pitted

    Instructions

    1. Pulse the oats, coconut, cinnamon and sugar in a food processor until combined. Add in the dates and pulse until the dates are chopped up and the mixture starts sticking together.
    2. If you want to double the batch (which I recommend!), I would make each mixture separate and then combine them in a bowl after.
    3. Enjoy!

    Notes

    • I’ve made this recipe multiple times and sometimes I can get away with using 8 dates and sometimes I need a couple more so it all depends on how big and how gooey the dates are.
    • I recommend medjool dates for this recipe.

      HEi Shannon,

      I just stumbled across this recipe and think it is amazing! I also like the presentation and your whole blog. I was wondering what tool you used to design the recipe box?

      Thanks,

      I love raw vegan recipes and this one has dates. My fav sweetener. I always wash oats because I read a study about finding rat feces in them. It seemed to turn a bit gooey. I love the taste but I am not sure how to keep it from going mushy. Although mushy really is quite good. Does anyone else wash their oats?

      Meijer sells Bard Valley dates in 3 varieties. I get the one in yellow because the pits have been removed. Total lazy person problems, but it really does save time.

      Finally made is today, only thing I would say is that I would pulse dates first, and add oat mixture last, the oats went a bit too powdery for me, more of a muesli than granola. I got carried away and added seeds, chopped nuts, flaxseed mix and mixed dried vine fruits too, oh and puffed dried rice to give some texture back. Tastes good though!

    Did your hair stop growing? Mine was stuck at the Did your hair stop growing?

Mine was stuck at the same length too for a while. But now I know your scalp is an extension of your skin and needs to be nourished and taken care of in order for healthy hair growth. The scalp ages 6x faster than the skin on your face 🤯 it needs love and care, too. Especially if you want length and strength.

My hair oil is unique and made of different botanicals, antioxidants, omegas and nutrients your scalp is craving. If your hair is struggling but you eat healthy, you may want to consider a hair oil to fill in the gaps. I’ve noticed new thickness and growth from it being nourished and fed nutrients from within. The SHINE is the most surprising part!!! It’s honestly jaw-dropping. It keeps getting better because it’s a LIQUID VITAMIN for all hair types.
 
Figuring out the right custom plan for you is key. I want to help customize a plan for you because everyone should experience these results.

I don’t need to be a girl boss or CEO of a company that separates us all day. I’m a mommy first and I sell shampoo, second. It’s actually the best of both worlds because I get to raise her and also have an income of my own.

There will always be some new trend or way to make money online. But are they sustainable? Or just a way to make a quick buck? One thing we all have in common is we all want to build a long-term sustainable business to make an income from home! We all sell shampoo, we all want different things for our families and we all took a leap of faith in starting our beauty businesses. And we all started somewhere. Instead of chasing the newest ways to make money, it’s so much more authentic to share something you love and use daily 👄🧴🫧🧖‍♀️

You guys. This is a dream come true. Getting better hair (completely frizz free 🙂) and making an income. I love what I do and the best part is it’s all from my phone and with my baby by my side. No daycare or nanny, it’s all from my phone. Now you do have to put in time and work for it to work, but it’s such a blessing. I’m so grateful every single day.
