What You’ll Need:
2 cup gluten free oats (I use Bob’s Red Mill)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons pine nuts
2 tablespoons coconut chips or unsweetened shredded coconut
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1/4 cup coconut oil room melted
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
pinch of salt
Optional: 2 tablespoons dried blueberries
What You’ll Do:
- Start by preheating your oven to 350 F
- Next, if your coconut oil is solid (at room temperature), heat the oil in a saucepan over low heat until it’s melted. Melted coconut oil is easier to mix with the dry ingredients
- Warming the brown rice syrup can also make it easier to mix in. So again, heat the syrup in a small saucepan over low heat.
- After measuring all ingredients, put them in a large bowl. Then, pour over the coconut oil and warm brown rice syrup
- Thoroughly mix all the ingredients
- Place the mixture on a baking tray lined with parchment paper
- Place the tray in the warm oven for about 20/25 minutes
- Stir the mix once or twice during cooking so it gets brown evenly
- Once the granola gets golden brown. Remove it from oven
- Allow the granola to cool
- Transfer your granola into an airtight container
Optional: add two tablespoons of dried blueberries for sweetness and color

Is there possibly a typo in the recipe if you’re calling it ‘maple’ but there’s zero maple syrup in the ingredient list?
Hey Amy!! Oh my goodness. Yes. See the update! Thanks. Warmly, Dr KB
Sorry I’m still confused….do we use maple syrup (in ingredient list) or brown rice syrup (in instructions)? Anxious to make this as gluten free granola is so expensive!
You can use either maple syrup or brown rice syrup OR you can use both (1/2 and 1/2). Yes, it’s so true–it is quite pricey! Let me know if you’ve got any other questions. Change Your Meals, Change Your Life!
I wasn’t sure how the coconut, cinnamon and ginger would taste but it’s wonderful! I cut back on the dried coconut (used plain unsweetened) and had only 1/4 cup serving, but I feel like maybe the coconut oil has aggravated my stomach. Is that common? I’ve never used much coconut oil.
Maybe try it again with a different type of oil! You’re allowed to be sensitive to any kind of foods (not just high FODMAP ones). You’ve got to find the foods that work the best for your body.
I have a mild allergic reaction to coconut oil (but not other coconut products – weird!) can it be substituted for a vegetable oil?
Yes! You absolutely can substitute with another oil.
