I took my favorite homemade granola
and made it gluten free.
It turned out great, so I thought I'd share!
Gluten Free Granola
4 cups gluten free oats
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup Rice Chex, lightly crushed
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
Mix all the above in a large bowl. Set aside.
1 cup apple juice concentrate, undiluted
1/2 cup honey
4 tablespoons coconut oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Put above ingredients into a 2 cup glass measuring cup.
Heat in microwave 2 minutes until oil is melted and honey is soft.
Whisk together and pour over the granola mixture.
Stir well and spread in a large greased jelly roll pan.
Bake 350 for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
When cool, add 1 cup each of your favorite dried fruits.
I used pineapple, apricot, papaya, cherries and coconut.
Yum.

Very cool and sounds so yummy. Our family is gluten free for years now. Not by choice though but it saved my husband's life to stop eating gluten.
ReplyDeleteA couple of my boys are gluten free and I play around with it casually. haha. I do feel better if I stay away from it, though. This granola is addicting!
Deletelooks delish . . . :)
ReplyDeleteOoooo that looks tasty. Love the pretty pink glass dish too.
ReplyDeleteVery tasty! I've eaten way too much of it!
DeleteThe serving container is so wonderful see. Golden oldie for sure.
ReplyDeleteThat was my grandma's little bowl. Gotta love pink depression glass!
DeleteI didn't realize that granola could be made so quickly!
ReplyDeleteWe have gone gluten free, so this is great!
I hope you try it. :)
DeleteIt crisps up as it cools, so don't overbake it!
DeleteThank you! I'll let you know how it goes.
DeleteThere you go
ReplyDeleteA gluten free show
Has to be that way for me
Or I'll be dead in a ditch at my sea lol
Can you eat dried cherries?
DeleteWould they make you hairy?
lol.
Never tried those
DeleteBut God only knows
That looks so colorful and inviting, butttt... I don't like coconut. I know... weird. But everyone else should try it and enjoy!
ReplyDeleteCoconut is optional. Just leave it out.
DeleteHi Betsy - gosh I bet it was yum .. sounds delicious. Thanks for posting ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteVery yum....and I've almost eaten it all already. :)
DeleteI thought that I would like to have a go at making that. I went through your ingredients list and realised that some of them are unobtainable through normal channels here, i.e. supermarkets etc.
ReplyDeleteRice Chex, dunno what that is, gluten free oats (surely that is a contradiction in terms?) and papaya I couldn't find any on the online shopping lists.
Left over Sauerkraut for me tonight!
Sounds like you better pass on this recipe,....you aren't gluten free anyway!
DeleteIf you want to make the original recipe, it's on my blog somewhere.
The papaya was optional.
