Jump to RecipeThis low sodium granola recipe is a sweet and satisfying addition to your breakfast! Add over yogurt, fruit, or top oatmeal.
A salt-free and healthy take on a breakfast favorite: this granola recipe has no sugar, vegan, gluten free, and high in fiber. Made with oats, nuts, maple syrup, and spices.
This no salt added granola recipe is a fantastic way to add a bit of sweetness to your breakfast. I recently dived in to the world of homemade granola, and it is SO GOOD I’m not going back to store-bought! Premade granolas can contain added salt and preservatives, which can increase the overall sodium content of the food – not this recipe!
I love the versatility of granola – you can use it in so many ways! You can add this coconut granola to a big yogurt or smoothie/açai bowl. Add a scoop to your morning cereal with fruit and my zero sodium almond milk. This granola adds a wonderful crunch to any breakfast dish.

What’s In This No Salt Granola Recipe with Oats?
See the recipe card below for a full list of instructions and ingredient amounts!
- Old Fashioned Oats: I used old fashioned oats for this recipe. I found old fashioned oats work much better than quick oats, as they hold up really well while being baked.
- Unsweetened Coconut Flakes – I used these fantastic coconut flakes which added the perfect flavor and crunch. I always keep a few bags of coconut flakes in my pantry for a quick breakfast topping or to use to make homemade coconut milk.
- Almonds: raw and unsalted so they are perfect to toast up in this granola!
- Maple syrup: for natural sweetness without the refined sugar, I’d definitely recommend using a natural maple syrup over sugar in this recipe.
- Walnuts
- Coconut Oil: I love keeping a few jars of this organic coconut oil on hand, it’s great for cooking and baking
How To Make This Recipe
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, stir together the oats, coconut flakes, walnuts, and sliced/chopped almonds. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined. Add the liquid mixture to the bowl with the oats. Fold together until the maple syrup mixture has coated every oat, coconut flake, and nut.
- Pour granola mixture onto the parchment paper, and using a spatula spread it out evenly over the paper and press down with the spatula. The harder you press the oats down, the chunkier the granola will be.
- Bake granola for 18 minutes, then remove from oven, turn the pan around, and bake for another 5. Do not stir or flip the granola.
- Remove from oven and allow granola to fully cool. The granola will harden more as it cools, and will form thick chunks. Add to cereal, yogurt bowls, or parfaits.

What is the serving size? 1 cup, 1/2 cup? You always list the servings but not the size of the serving. At least I’m not finding it.
