This 21 Day Fix Granola is the perfect make ahead breakfast or snack! Easy Homemade Granola that is gluten-free, dairy-free and refined sugar free unlike many of the prepackaged granola options in stores. This post contains affiliate links for products I’m obsessed with.
Confession # 14- I love a challenge. And taking something usually filled with sugar and making it healthy AND delicious, well that’s my kind of challenge.
This recipe comes by request…my first actual request for a “fixed” up recipe and I think I nailed it. But I’ll let you be the judge of that.
For those of you who have made my Krispie Baked Chicken recipe, I use the same brand Brown Rice Cereal
for this recipe! Perfect if you already have an open box, which we always do in my house. Then I add some oats, sliced almonds, seeds and flax, and just a touch of natural sweetener before baking.
My kids love helping me making this granola, and they use it to top yogurt, banana ice cream, or alone as a snack. Leave the almonds out for a lunchbox safe option!
Lightly sweet, nice and crunchy, and totally customizable to your favorite ingredients, this Easy Homemade Granola is sure to be a new favorite! Enjoy!
21 Day Fix Approved Granola
3/4 cup of old fashioned oats
1/4 cup of Brown Rice Cereal
2/3 cup slivered almonds
1-2 tbsp seeds – I used chia, hemp and flax. Pumpkin and sunflower would also be awesome!
2 tsp honey
2 tsp pure maple syrup
2 tsp warm coconut oil
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1. Mix brown rice cereal, seeds, almonds, cinnamon, and oats together
2. Mix the remaining ingredients together and pour over dry ingredients
3. Spread on parchment paper and bake at 300 for 20-30 minutes until crunchy and dry
4. Store in mason jars!
4 servings – 1/3 cup each
1/2 YELLOW 1/2 BLUE
1/8-1/4 ORANGE 1/2 TSP
1 tsp of fix approved sweetener
(plain yogurt blended with blueberries and topped with the granola for a healthy, delicious snack!)

Megan says
Made this yesterday. It was really good. I added cranberries but I think it would be good without them too. Really liked the crunch of the brown rice cereal. FYI Your Amazon link to it says out of stock, but luckily I found some in my grocery store.

Ahh – thanks for that! And YAY! So happy this was a hit for you!

Lori says
I’m curious to know the original 21 Day Fix granola recipe and how are you modified it. I can’t find the original. Thanks!
Nancylynn says
This is the recipe – took a non 21 day fix recipe and made it 21 Day Fix approved! Hope you like it!
Megan says
Why is it only 1/2 yellow for 1/4 cup dry oats/cereal? I thought that would be a whole yellow. Please advise, thank you!
Nancylynn says
1 yellow = 1/2 cup
Joyce says
So, so very good! Even my partner likes it, and he’s not a fan of granola!! It was very yummy on yogurt!!!
Amber N Smith says
Any idea how long this would last stored in the mason jar? This is definitely tempting to make.
Nancylynn says
I keep it for a week!
April says
Can you tell me what brown rice cereal is? (I’m a newbie…but love my granola with yogurt so this sounded right up my alley.)
Nancylynn says
Yes!!! This is the one I use!! https://www.amazon.com/Erewhon-Crispy-Cereal-Gluten-Organic/dp/B00MFCC4J6/ref=pd_sbs_325_3?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00MFCC4J6&pd_rd_r=BDC3371M2W84ZQ9GRGSS&pd_rd_w=hpUBQ&pd_rd_wg=7Z7OD&refRID=BDC3371M2W84ZQ9GRGSS&th=1
Michele says
Another good one that I tried that has organic coconut sugar instead of the brown rice syrup and also gluten free in from One Degree Organic Foods called Sprouted Brown Rice Crisps. I found it at Busch’s. https://www.amazon.com/One-Degree-Cereal-Crisp-Brown/dp/B00GO6VCME/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1526842455&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=one+degree+brown+rice+crisps&psc=1&smid=A3R2L7I9DH1SSW
Nancylynn says
Thank you!!
Elaine Coloura says
Will this work without the brown rice cereal and just using oats?
Nancylynn says
I bet it will! The cereal just gives it extra crunch.
