    Sugar-Free Cinnamon Crunch Granola

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe
    Sugar-Free Cinnamon Crunch Granola. Vegan and Gluten Free. Sweetened with stevia and cinnamon. Made with oats, coconut oil and nuts for crunch!

    I’ve fallen back in love with granola!

    I got scared of it for a minute because of the sugar content but there is a solution, and it’s much tastier anyway! The solution is to make your own homemade granola at home. It’s SO WORTH IT.

    This Sugar-Free Cinnamon Crunch Granola is liiiife and makes your kitchen smell like literal heaven.

    There are a few granola brands with low sugar content but also, they can run $9 per bag. You get so much more for your money when you make your own, and it’s so much easier than you think!

    Let’s talk oats. I grew scared of them for a while too, which makes me sad. Oats are amazing and I didn’t realize how much I missed them! I think my fear stemmed from the keto craze that happening right now, but I’m so over the food fears. Oats are a whole food and contain a great amount of fiber, protein and iron. Plus, what is granola without oats?!

    What are the ingredients?!

    • gluten free rolled oats
    • almonds
    • sunflower seeds
    • hemp seeds
    • coconut oil
    • cinnamon
    • stevia drops
    • vanilla extract
    • sea salt

    You could add a tablespoon or two of maple syrup if you don’t have stevia to keep it low sugar instead of sugar-free. Check out my post here on why I gave up sugar, but always make it work for you! I use this vanilla stevia, by the way. Also, the cinnamon is naturally sweet too, and also helps to balance blood sugar (which is essential for healthy hormone balance!)

    Yummy extras you could add:

    • shredded coconut
    • dried fruit (cranberries, raisins, gogi berries, etc.)
    • freeze-dried fruit (strawberries, bananas, blueberries, etc.)
    • vegan chocolate chips (I like these sugar-free ones)

    All you do is mix the dry ingredients together, melt the coconut oil, add the wet ingredients to the dry, mix again and bake! It’s so simple and ready in less than 30 minutes, from start to finish.

    Also, almond milk mixed with warm granola is BOMB, just sayin’. I hope you enjoy this scrumptious and crunchy granola recipe!

    SHANNON // Hair Growth Tips
    FOR MY OILY GIRLS 🦄 These 3 tips have really FOR MY OILY GIRLS 🦄 

These 3 tips have really helped me combat the annoying oil to the point where now, I only have to wash twice a week. I’m sure you guys already know that washing LESS helps the scalp to stop overproducing so much oil. So washing less is the goal ⚡️ and I can help you get to this point because I know it’s scary/hard to do. But we also have to remember that oil after a couple days is completely normal, so there is a balance here.

Obviously these tips along with the right shampoo and conditioner for YOU is KEY. If you’d like a free custom consult you can DM me HAIR or take my Hair Quiz linked in my bio 🩷🙂🦄⚡️💅🏻👑🔥💛

    Have you checked the ingredients in your skin & ha Have you checked the ingredients in your skin & hair products lately? Your dry shampoo? 

The USA bans only 50 ingredients from cosmetics, 500 in Canada and 1300 in Europe! 😱😱 Did you know my products go be European standards? 

With the chemicals and environmental pollutants etc that we are exposed to daily that we can’t control, we can choose wisely the products we use and slather on our bodies/heads. Your skin absorbs EVERYTHING you put on it, your skin is your largest organ.

I’m sure you heard about the recall of millions of dry shampoos for containing BENZENE which is a cancer-causing ingredient that you are inhaling and spraying on your scalp multiple times per week. Many of them are STILL on the shelves! 😡 I have a better option for you that does not contain talc (an oil absorber also connected to cancer), propane or butane either, which are all connected to allergies and eye, lung and skin irritations.

Let’s do better for our hormones, skin, hair, health, kids health and environmental health. Let’s get you started on better products that you can trust.

Take my HAIR QUIZ linked in my bio or DM me HAIR and I can get you started 🧴🧴🧴🧴

PRODUCTS USED:
• anti-frizz blow out spray 
• the best ever dry shampoo
• texture spray for grit and hold
• flex control hairspray
• optional glossy shine mist

    after a lot of soul searching.. I almost gave up after a lot of soul searching..

I almost gave up on my dream of being a SAHM while having an income. I thought I would have to choose one or the other. My head was spinning about it. But right before I gave up, an opportunity to sell naturally-based haircare products landed in my lap. Immediately it felt right.

Since then, my confidence has soared because I’ve been able to foster my independence and identity apart from being a mom. Mentally, this has been life-changing. I love being a mama more than anything and I also love having my own thing. My own business to build. My own income. I’ve realized you really can have the best of both worlds. I’m not just saying that mamas. 

Yes it takes work and time to build a business but it’s YOURS and no one else’s. We are so powerful when we put our minds to something. And so productive because we don’t have time to waste. 

If you’ve been looking for something like this and want more information on what this partnership would look like, just DM me BIZ and we can chat about it 🩷🩷🩷
