  • Small mixing bowl
  • spoon
  • Whisk

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Combine the rolled oats, brown rice flour, shredded coconut, Brazil nuts, pecans, sesame seeds and sea salt in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Whisk the canola oil, agave nectar and vanilla extract together in a small mixing bowl.

  • Bake for 8 minutes, then stir thoroughly.

  • Leave the granola on the baking sheet until completely cool.
  • Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.

Notes & Wine Advice

Serving Suggestions

Serve the granola with nondairy yogurt, fresh raspberries or your favorite plant-based milk. It also works as a crunchy topping for fruit bowls and desserts. Browse our Breakfast Recipes and Brunch Recipes for more ideas.

Recipe Notes

Watch the granola carefully during the final minutes because agave nectar can brown quickly. Stirring after the first 8 minutes helps the mixture bake evenly. Add the raspberries and white chocolate immediately after baking so the warm granola gently softens the chocolate.

Variations

Replace the Brazil nuts or pecans with another favorite nut, or use a combination. Freeze-dried raspberries can provide a brighter raspberry flavor and crispier texture. Dark nondairy chocolate can replace the white chocolate for a less sweet version.

Storage

Allow the granola to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator to keep the nuts, raspberries and nondairy white chocolate fresh and crisp. Always use a clean, dry spoon when serving to prevent moisture from entering the container.

Wine Advice

When serving the granola as a dessert rather than breakfast, a fruity sweet wine works best with the raspberry and white chocolate. For breakfast or brunch, coffee, tea or a cold plant-based milk is the more natural pairing.

About Raspberry White Chocolate Crunch Granola

Raspberry White Chocolate Crunch Granola combines toasted oats, coconut, nuts and sesame seeds with tart raspberries and creamy white chocolate. Agave nectar sweetens the mixture while helping the ingredients develop a crisp, golden coating in the oven. The result sits somewhere between traditional granola and a sweet crunchy treat, making it suitable for breakfast, brunch or a simple dessert.

The recipe contains several different textures. Rolled oats provide the familiar granola base, brown rice flour helps bind the coating, shredded coconut adds chewiness and Brazil nuts and pecans supply plenty of crunch. Browse our Breakfast Recipes for more ways to start the day.

Creating Crisp Homemade Granola

Good granola depends on getting the balance between moisture, fat and dry ingredients right. Canola oil coats the oats and nuts, while agave nectar provides sweetness and encourages browning. Mixing everything thoroughly before baking is therefore important. There should not be large areas of completely dry oats or pools of liquid sweetener.

Spread the mixture in an even layer over the baking sheet. Stir after the first 8 minutes so ingredients near the edges do not become significantly darker than those in the centre. Agave browns relatively quickly, so watch the granola closely during the final few minutes.

Raspberry and White Chocolate

The combination of raspberry and white chocolate gives this granola its distinctive character. Raspberries provide tart fruitiness that cuts through the sweetness of the agave and chocolate. Nondairy white chocolate adds creamy sweetness without introducing dairy ingredients.

Adding both ingredients after baking protects the raspberries from becoming overly dry. The residual heat gently softens the white chocolate, allowing some of it to cling to the oats and nuts. For more sweet ideas, explore our Chocolate Recipes.

Nuts, Coconut and Sesame

Brazil nuts and pecans make this granola particularly crunchy and rich. Brazil nuts have a firm texture, while pecans are slightly softer and naturally buttery. Sesame seeds add smaller bursts of nuttiness throughout the mixture, and shredded coconut contributes both texture and flavor.

If you enjoy recipes featuring nuts, browse our Nuts Recipes. You can also change the nut combination according to what you have available, although this will slightly alter the nutritional values.

Serving Your Homemade Granola

For breakfast, serve the granola with plant-based milk or spoon it over nondairy yogurt. Fresh raspberries, strawberries or blueberries add freshness and make a useful contrast to the sweet white chocolate. It can also be sprinkled over a smoothie bowl or served with fresh fruit.

Because the granola contains white chocolate, it can easily cross over into dessert territory. Try sprinkling a smaller portion over nondairy ice cream or a fruit dessert. You can find more ideas in our Dessert Recipes and Snack Recipes.

Cooling and Storage

Let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring it to a container. It becomes noticeably crisper as it cools, so do not judge its final texture immediately after it leaves the oven.

Once cool, transfer the granola to an airtight container and refrigerate it. Keeping moisture away is particularly important because moisture quickly softens toasted oats and nuts. Serve only the amount you need and return the remainder to the refrigerator. Stored properly, the granola stays convenient for quick breakfasts, snacks and sweet toppings throughout the week.
