Mmmmhhh! This AIP breakfast granola, naturally flavored with vanilla and cinnamon, is a delight! There is no sugar added; only some dehydrated apples to impart a touch of sweetness without causing any sugar crash. Perfect!
If you are just starting the autoimmune protocol, this convenient granola will help you transition from your old breakfast staples to a cleaner option to start your day. It is also a great option as a mid-afternoon, pick-me-up, an I-need-some-sweeteness-but-not-too-much kind of snack!
Warning: your kitchen will smell amazing while you bake this breakfast granola in the oven, and you might attract hungry family members, eager to “test” your new recipe! Also, keep watch when the granola is baking because it will turn brown on you very fast. Now is not the time to go check your status on Facebook!

Loving this recipe, will definitely try out soon! Do you think it would work without the tigernuts? Here in Germany neither Amazon nor the local stores around here have them!
Hello Anna,
Absolutely! You can do this recipe without the tigernuts. Add a third cup of coconut flakes instead.
This looks so yummy!!! Would love to win the tigernuts and try it!!! I bet even my daughter would like it!!!!!
Very excited to try this with no added honey or maple syrup! Right now I’m off sugar and took out many other things to see if I was having a problem with them, but when I introduce coconut back, this will be the recipe! Thanks for the giveaway!! I do like tigernuts, just can’t afford them all the time 🙂

Thanks for the opportunity to win. This recipe looks awesome!
Yum! I love your tip on diluting the coconut milk!
Oh yum, this looks wonderful. Will give it a try. I can see it on top of coconut yogurt.
I love tigernuts so much. I keep eating them. I tell myself, these are so good, they’ve got to be bad for you. But not! I suppose I shouldn’t eat so many though.
This looks so yummy!!!
I’ve never made granola before since I don’t eat whole nuts and seeds but this kind would be perfect for me. I love coconut and tiger nuts!
Looks like a great recipe. I’d love to try tiger it’s. Never heard of them before. Cool!

This looks delicious. I can’t wait to try it and add to my breakfast menu.
I mostly stopped eating cereals when I gave up milk, but this sounds amazing and I’ve been interested in trying Tiger Nuts and wondering what I can do for a quick snack when I go AIP since I will no longer be able to use almonds and pistachios as my go-to, travel-friendly snacks.
On the AIP…looks like I’ll be giving tiger nuts a try for the first time. Thanks! Can you recommend an alcohol free vanilla flavoring?
Hello Randi,
I use this brand of vanilla flavoring. It does not contain any alcohol.
Hi, Sophie…uhm…I don’t see the brand listed. Could you please share, again, the brand of vanilla flavoring. It’s not showing up on your post! THANK YOU!
Oh sorry! Let’s try again. Click here for the link.
Thanks!

I would love to try this recipe.
Yum! I love this breakfast idea. This is my first time visiting your page as well. I love it!
I miss granola and this looks delicious.
This looks absolutely scrumptious! Very eager to try this!
It looks amazing and I’m so excited to try this! As someone with a newly diagnosed AI Disease, getting healthy and taking back as much control of my life as possible is vital. And all of that starts with what I eat and how I fuel and take care of my body. Thanks so much for your awesome website and recipes. It’s so encouraging to me!
These flavors sound great!
Thank you so much for educating me! I’ve never heard of Tigernuts before and can’t wait to try! I’ve been loving AIP and feeling so much better but I really do miss granola. I can’t wait to try this recipe.
But am I missing something? I normally buy organic pure vanilla. Should I be making sure there isn’t any alcohol?
Hello Tina,
Yes, I prefer to use vanilla extract without alcohol (it is then called vanilla flavoring), or vanilla powder. Vanilla powder is more expensive, but a little bit goes a long way!
Tried this today. 3 minutes in a 350 deg oven and the coconut flakes burned. Had to throw the whole batch out. What did I do wrong?
Hello Carol,
Many things can happen! Your oven might be calibrated differently than mine, or the rack might have been higher or lower than me. The important is, and I specify this in the post, to stay close to the oven while baking this granola. It turns brown on your very fast, so you have to watch over it. I would try again, stay close to the oven to check, and maybe reduce the cooking time. Good luck!
Can’t get my hands on tigernuts. Any ideas for what I can swap them out for?
Adam,
You can use more coconut flakes in lieu of sliced tigernuts. – Sophie
