Orange Ginger Grain-Free Granola is crunchy, flavorful, and incredibly delicious – you definitely won’t miss the oats! This gluten-free, Paleo and vegan granola makes the perfect breakfast or snack. This post is sponsored by Noosa.

I’ve told you guys soooo many times about my favorite breakfast: yogurt, granola, and berries. I could eat it pretty much everyday – it’s one of those meals I just don’t get sick of.

One of the reasons I probably don’t get sick of it is the wide variety of yogurts and granola I can use. So many delicious flavor possibilities! The options are pretty much endless – as well represented by the wide variety of granola recipes on my site.

Usually when I run out of a batch of granola, it’s inspiration to create a new recipe, with new flavors. Sometimes the inspiration comes from delicious yogurt instead though!

When the folks over at Noosa offered to send me some of their new tart&sweet flavors, I jumped at the chance because I LOVE Noosa yogurt. It’s incredibly creamy and has these scrumptious ribbons of jammy, fruity goodness swirled throughout.

Their newest flavors are NO exception. They’ve got Orange & Ginger, Strawberry & Hibiscus, and Pear & Cardamom – SWOON ❤️! My mom was coming over the day I made this granola, and we had a little taste test to see which flavor was our favorite.

The Strawberry & Hibiscus was deliciously creamy and a little tangy, with a sweet berry taste – definitely had a little tropical twist. The Pear & Cardamom a little sweeter and wasn’t as tangy, but was still incredibly delicious with that hint of cardamom – it was the perfect combo of sweet and spice. The favorite of the day, though, was the Orange & Ginger. It was super tangy and flavorful – my mom compared it to a tangy creamsicle! You could absolutely taste the tree-ripened oranges and freshly minced ginger in there.

The day’s favorite, the Orange & Ginger, also served as inspiration for this Orange Ginger Grain-Free Granola! Oh man, they complemented each other nicely. The creamy, tangy yogurt paired with the crunchy, flavorful granola was a match made in HEAVEN.

This granola is grain-free, so the base doesn’t have any oats. Instead, we’ve got a mix of nuts, seeds, and flaked coconut which helps make this granola super filling. It’s flavored with orange zest for a bit of tang, along with ground ginger and cinnamon for warmth. It’s only lightly sweetened with a bit of maple syrup.

After it’s baked low and slow to get delightfully crispy, it’s tossed with a bit of chopped crystallized ginger and some dried cranberries. The crystallized ginger isn’t Paleo-friendly since it is sweetened with sugar but it adds a nice burst of flavor and some chew – you make the call whether to include it or not :)

I sent the Orange Ginger Grain-Free Granola home with my mom, and she brought it to work. She put it out with all the “grain-free, gluten-free, Paleo + vegan” labels, expected everyone to pass it up and she’d come home with a bunch of granola.

Instead, I got a text at 9am telling me it was a big hit, and that “everyone’s obsessed”. She was bummed they ate it all, and there was none left for her to bring home…but I guess that makes a winner! If you’re a granola person, you’re going to adore this crunchy, clustery, warm, and SUPER flavorful grain-free recipe.
