{delightful} gluten free granola

I finally decided to make the gluten free granola I have been thinking about for years. And surprisingly enough, it turned out perfect the first go around. I am so excited about it.


All you need are two bowls, one for dry ingredients and one for wet.



Set the oven temperature to 350 while you prep everything.


Gluten free Granola by amy twomey

Mix Dry:
2T. cinnamon
2 1/2 c. oats
1 c. coconut flakes
1/2 c. sliced almonds
1/2 c. crushed walnuts
1/2 c. sunflower seeds
1 T. sesame seeds
1T. flax seed
1 t. salt

Mix Wet:
1 c. honey
2 T. corn and canola blend oil
1 T. Vanilla extract

Mix dry well, and stir in wet. Lay out on a big baking sheet and put in oven at 350 for about 15-20 minutes, flipping occasionally with spatula. Bake at 300 for an additional 20 min watching well that it doesn't brown too much. Remove from the oven to cool and pour generous handfuls of brown sugar on top. Stir up well when cool.


*serve over yogurt or on it's own for a snack.


so good. so good. so good.


I made a huge sheet of it that was gone in less then an hour! I will make double next time for sure. This would make a great addition to the kids lunch boxes too for a healthy treat.

katie, I was thinking about doing that next... I think I might try adding butter and chocolate chips and just fill a depper pan higher and set to cool then cut into bars. Can't wait to try that one...you should to! amy
