About Me

I am a fun loving southern girl with food allergies. I love to cook and to share the results with my friends. After years of those same friends asking for recipes and ideas...here's the blog and hopefully one day a book. Thanks for stopping by!

Gluten Free Granola

I have always loved granola and unfortunately most contain wheat germ. So off to the kitchen I go to figure out granola.

Well, I think the results were amazing! My new favorite breakfast, 1/2 cup with soy milk! It would be fantastic with yogurt.

1/3 cup coconut oil
1/3 cup agave syrup
1/3 cup honey (local is best)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
3 cups old fashioned rolled oats

½ cup each of the following:
Raw sunflower seeds
Raw pumpkin seeds         
Slivered almonds
Pecan pieces
Unsweetened coconut(optional)

¼ cup each of the following:
Chia seeds
Hemp seeds

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Mix together all spices and liquid ingredients, stir in flax seed, chia seed and hemp seed. Stir to combine well.
Add all remaining dry ingredients and stir to combine well. Spread evenly in the pan.
Bake 30-45 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes, until golden brown.
Enjoy!
