cinnamon raisin grain free granola

a brand new granola recipe with cinnamon undertones and loaded with raisins.

So I originally made this recipe as an impromptu video for IGTV the other week, and I just got around to actually typing it up for the website.

I wanted granola with a cinnamon and flare, and that’s exactly what I did with this recipe. I added in raisins as a last minute decision, to recall anything cinnamon-raisin-flavoured you would have as a child — that was always one of my favourite combos. 

This granola has the perfect amount of crunch to it, with the egg white helping in that department. It’s sweetened veryyyy lightly with honey, but you can always add a touch more if you prefer something on the sweeter side.. As it is, I tried not to over do it.

This granola recipe is definitely going into my grain free granola rotation ASAP, I can’t wait to make it again. 

Scroll further past for the written instructions. I hope you love this granola, and if you make it, definitely tag me on Instagram!

Note: As of May 2025 I’ve updated the original recipe slightly – original recipe was shared in April 2020!
