Grain-Free Lavender Honey Granola
Created in partnership with Comvita.
First, everyone thought granola was healthy hippie food. Then, everyone freaked out and started putting it in the category of “unhealthy food masquerading as healthy food.”
The truth? It’s all about what’s in it.
Yes, a lot of bagged brands are loaded with sugar and unhealthy oils. But if you make your own, you can choose nutritious, delicious ingredients.
Starting with incredible Comvita Manuka Honey, the highest quality honey from hives in New Zealand. Add nuts, coconut oil, and lavender, and you’ve got a breakfast (or snack time) home run.

Ingredients
Directions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees fahrenheit.
- In a food processor, add pepitas, almonds, cashews, walnuts, and coconut. Pulse until just slightly crumbled, leaving about half of the nuts whole (or crushed to your liking).
- Add nut mixture to a large bowl and toss with coconut flour.
- In a separate bowl, mix honey, coconut oil, lavender, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Add wet mixture to nut mixture and stir to coat evenly.
- On a lined baking sheet, press mixture firmly into a thin even layer, and bake for about 45 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely before breaking into smaller pieces, and enjoy!
WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
UMF® Manuka Honey is independently certified and comes from the nectar of the Manuka flower in New Zealand, which is commonly known for its antibacterial properties, making it a healthy addition to this recipe. This granola also includes different types of nuts that are high in protein and healthy fats (with extra from the coconut oil). For a super satiating, yummy breakfast, sprinkle the granola on top of your Greek yogurt.
