These oil free granola recipes are built around whole-food ingredients that naturally bring richness, texture, and crunch to every bite. Rather than removing oil from an existing recipe, we create blends that taste exactly the way we want them to from the very beginning.
Made with organic, non-GMO ingredients and baked fresh in Vermont, they’re proof that simple recipes can still deliver serious flavor.

Oil free shouldn’t mean flavor free. Our recipes are thoughtfully built from the start to deliver the richness, texture, and crunch you want without relying on added oils to get there.
Absolutely. Oil is often added to granola to help ingredients roast evenly, create crisp texture, and encourage clusters to form. But it isn’t the only way to make great granola.
In an oil free granola, texture and richness can come from the ingredients themselves. Nuts, seeds, and coconut naturally contain fats, while carefully balanced recipes and baking techniques help create the golden crunch people expect from granola.
That distinction is important: “no added oil” doesn’t necessarily mean “fat free.” Whole-food ingredients like nuts and seeds naturally contain fats of their own. It simply means no additional oil has been added to the recipe.
