Recipe originally shared by my friend Carolyn at All Day I Dream About Food.
This grain-free granola is infused with delicious chocolate and orange flavours. It's easy to prepare, and it’s perfect for breakfast, a healthy dessert, or a quick snack.
I serve mine with some unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk or scattered over some full-fat yogurt or coconut yogurt. It's freeze-friendly and perfect for travelling!

Ingredients (makes 10 servings)
Dry ingredients:
Wet ingredients:
- 1 large egg white
- 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, ghee or virgin coconut oil (60 ml/ 2 fl oz)
- 15 to 20 drops liquid stevia
- 2 tbsp water (30 ml)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 150 °C/ 300 °F (fan assisted), or 170 °C/ 340 °F (conventional). Roughly chop the almonds and pecans.
- Place all the dry ingredients—the almonds through the salt—in a mixing bowl and combine well. Add the egg white, melted butter, ghee, or oil, liquid stevia, and water. Mix well until the mixture resembles crumbly dough.
- Transfer the mixture to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, turning halfway through the cooking process.
- Remove from the oven and let the granola cool. When it’s reached room temperature, transfer the granola to a glass container and have it for breakfast!
- Serve it with coconut milk, almond milk, cream, full-fat yogurt, or sour cream.
