    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!

what are you guys up to today?! I’m installing our new shower filter that I can’t wait to share about, running errands, cleaning, thinking about dinner, the usual Sunday things 💗💗💗
    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 🤍🤍🤍

    what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy skin & hair, and to be a patient mama 🖤

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.

- breakfast tacos with pastured eggs
- collagen king coffee ☁️ 
- leftover homemade chicken fried rice 
- swedish meatballs & gf pasta & green beans
- my homemade tahini maple cookies (I have a reel with the recipe!!) but I’m truly addicted 🍪 
- always sipping on @gerolsteiner_usa 💧

    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 👑

    passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹 I passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹

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 🙏🏼
