Rawnola (no bake granola)
Rawnola is a no-bake granola that’s ready in 5 minutes, loaded with dates, pecans, oats, coconut flakes, chia seeds & other nutritious ingredients. It’s naturally sweetened & insanely delicious!
If you know me, you know I love granola. My Easy 5 Ingredient Granola is a very popular recipe on the blog. But I also love dates and no-bake recipes. I usually don’t realize I ran out of my homemade granola until I’m preparing my breakfast, so that’s when this quick and easy rawnola comes into play. And honestly, it’s just as delicious as the baked version. I might even prefer this Rawnola…
The nuts provide the crunch, the dates provide bursts of sweetness, the seeds add nutrients, and the cinnamon adds a great depth of flavor. If you’re suspicious, I highly recommend just giving it a go. It’s better than you’d think!
Why you’ll love Rawnola
- Healthy ingredients – this recipe is made with just 5 main ingredients, plus seeds and flavors. It’s naturally sweetened using dates and a healthier alternative to many store-bought granolas.
- No bake – we love a no bake recipe! Rawnola literally takes 5 minutes to make. Just mix everything together in a food processor and sprinkle it on yogurt, smoothie bowls, oatmeal, etc.
- Incredibly delicious – crunchy, nutty clusters with bits of dates for sweetness.
- Totally customizable – you can use whatever you have on hand for this recipe! Switch out the walnuts and almonds for other nuts, such as pecans and hazelnuts. Replace the coconut flakes with more oats. Swap the seeds for your favorite seeds – such as pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc.
Another great thing about making Rawnola is that there are so many variations that can be made! Looking for a chocolate flavor? Add cocoa powder and/or mini chocolate chips. Looking for something fruity? Add dried fruit. Looking for something spiced? Add your spices of choice. Want to switch up the nuts? Go for it!
