Nut-Free Granola Guide

I’ve been living with nut allergies for almost 25 years (I know, crazy!), and one of the hardest things to find to this day is nut-free granola. Almost every option in stores contains nuts or has a dreaded cross contamination warning label. This year, I’ve been on the hunt to find all the best granola options. I am so excited to finally bring you my allergy-friendly granola guide! All of the following brands are made in dedicated nut-free facilities, and many are also made in facilities free of the top 8 allergens. Keep reading for a roundup of all the nut-free granola options and which ones you absolutely need to try!

1. Oat Haus Granola

Oat Haus Granola is arguably the best pick on the market. Best known for its Granola Butter, Oat Huas has recently expanded into traditional granola. They launced three mouthwatering flavors: Cookie Dough, Cookies & Cream, and Brownie Batter. Made with gluten-free oats, maple syrup, and coconut oil, these granolas are completely nut-free, vegan, gluten-free, and made in a dedicated nut-free facility.

The Cookie Dough granola, my personal favorite, brings warm vanilla notes and lots of chocolate chips. Cookies & Cream features chocolate and vanilla granola clusters and is chock full of mini white chocolate chips. Brownie Batter delivers a deep fudgy flavor, reminiscent of its Granola Butter counterpart. If you’re looking for one of best nut-free granolas on the market, you need to try Oat Haus!

2. Red Plate Foods Granola

Red Plate Foods offers a range of granolas that are nut-free, gluten-free, vegan, and free from the top 9 allergens, making them a great allergy-friendly option. Crafted in small batches in a dedicated top 9 allergen free facility, these granolas come in three enticing flavors: Vanilla, Cinnamon, and Dark Chocolate.

Vanilla presents a subtle sweetness and is a great versatile base. Cinnamon features golden toasted oats with a light spicy kick. Dark Chocolate, my favorite of the bunch, is a rich and indulgent option with oats coated in 70% organic cocoa. They don’t offer as many clusters as the Oat Haus granolas, but they’re all packed with amazing flavor and are a great pick for those looking for a dedicated top 9 free option.

3. Safe + Fair

Safe + Fair offers a delicious lineup of nut-free, gluten-free, and vegan granolas made with clean ingredients and ancient grains. Their flavors bring fun, dessert-inspired twists to classic granola and many rotate seasonally. My favorite flavor is Birthday Cake, which features crunchy granola clusters, natural sprinkles and the nostalgic taste of vanilla cake.

They also have a wide selection of seasonal flavors including Key Lime Pie, Honeycrisp Apple, Chocolate Candy Cane, and Pumpkin Pie. With no artificial ingredients or preservatives, Safe + Fair granola is a fantastic granola option for those looking for fun flavors.

4. MadeGood Foods

MadeGood Foods makes amazing Granola Minis, a delicious, allergy-friendly snack made in a dedicated top 9 allergen-free facility. These bite-sized clusters are organic, gluten-free, vegan, and packed with nutrients from six vegetables—making them a great option for kids and adults alike. Available in flavors like Chocolate Chip, Mixed Berry, Cookies & Creme, and Apple Cinnamon, they offer a perfect balance of sweetness and crunch. This is my go-to option when I need an on the go snack that’s healthy and delicious.

  • Allergen info: Facility is free of the top 9 allergens
  • Where to Buy: Made Good Foods website, Made Good Foods on Amazon, Target, Whole Foods
5. 88 Acres

Another fun and unique option, 88 Acres makes their famous Seed’nola out of their famous seed bars. Made in a dedicated top 9 free facility, their Seed’nola is an inclusive snack that’s delicious and sustainable. 88 Acres takes all the food waste from the production of their seed bars (left over pieces and edges) and turns it into granola. They sell both Edge’nola, which has bigger chunks and a heartier texture, and than Seed’nola, a light and crunchy version which is made using a slightly different recipe and baking process!

Available in flavors like Cinnamon Maple, Dark Chocolate Sea Salt, and Double Chocolate Mocha, each variety delivers a unique taste experience. Cinnamon Maple boasts a warm and cozy blend of cinnamon, maple syrup, and toasted seeds, Dark Chocolate Sea Salt has rich cocoa and sea salt notes, and Double Chocolate Mocha, my personal favorite, provides a bold mix of deep chocolate and coffee flavors. This nut-free granola is perfect for chocolate lovers and everyone in between.

6. Gerb’s Allergy-Friendly Foods

Gerb’s Allergy-Friendly Foods offers a selection of granolas crafted in a dedicated facility free from the top 14 allergens, including gluten, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, dairy, and eggs. Their granolas are made with gluten-free rolled oats, seeds, and unsulfured dried fruits, providing a wholesome and safe option for those with dietary restrictions.

They’re sold in 14oz, 2LB and 4LB bags in 3 varieties: Original Three Seed n’ Honey, Super Five Seed (pumpkin, sunflower, flax, chia, hemp), and Super Five Dried Fruit (cranberry, blueberry, raisin, cherry, goji berry). If you want an option packed with fiber (and added fruit), definitely check out Gerb’s allergy-friendly and nut-free granola options.

7. One Degree Organic Foods

One Degree Organic Foods offers a line of sprouted, organic granolas made with gluten-free oats and clean, traceable ingredients. Certified USDA Organic, Non-GMO, and vegan, these granolas are naturally sweetened with organic coconut palm sugar and packed with wholesome flavors. Note: there are tree nuts in the facility. Please read their allergen FAQ to confirm if it’s safe for you.

These sprouted, organic, and gluten-free granolas offer a variety of flavors, from sweet and spiced to chocolatey and tea-infused. My favorites include Quinoa Cacao, Vanilla Chia, Honey Hemp, Cinnamon Flax, and the most unique, their Cacao Mint Tea Infused Granola. Given that their facility is not dedicated free of tree nuts, this may not be the best option for everyone managing a nut allergy, but if they’re safe for you, I definitely recommend grabbing a bag (or two!)

I hope you enjoyed my guide to the best nut-free granola!
