    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

    • Prep Time: 5
    • 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.

    I usually double the batch when I make it because it goes so quick 🙂

      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!

    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑

I have many more passes too.. extreme diets, too many supplements, gluten, juice cleanses, eating too fast and not chewing enough.. the list goes on!

Gut healing takes a multi-faceted approach and it’s never just one supplement to heal or one thing to do.

It takes time, patience and grace! And working alongside a practitioner you feel called to 🙏🏼
