It's been a while since I have posted anything in here. So what better way to start writing in here again but with a great recipe for Gluten Free Granola?!Oats are not a gluten containing grain naturally- however the way in which they are processed usually makes them a no-no for Celiacs. Usually commercially oats are processed right along with wheat therefor cross contaminating the oats and making them glutenous. There are brands of certified gluten free oats out there so make sure you use those particular brands only!
Gluten Free Granola!
Ingredients
3 cups of Gluten Free Rolled Oats (I used Bob's Red Mill Brand of Gluten Free Oats)
1 cup of sliced almonds
3/4 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup raisins or other dried fruit
Directions:
Preheat oven to 250 degrees
In a large bowl, combine the oats, nuts, coconut and brown sugar.
In another bowl combine the maple syrup, oil, and salt. Then combine both mixtures and mix well until liquid mixture has evenly coated the oat mixture. Pour onto two cookie sheets evenly and bake for about 45min to 1 hour. You must turn the granola mixture every 15 min in order to prevent any burning. Once mixture has browned remove from oven and put into a large bowl and add in any dried fruit you wish at this point.
Now enjoy!
