Peanut Butter Granola

I whipped this granola up for kiddo #2 who requested a granola with no cranberries but loves peanut butter.

7 cups rolled oats, gluten free

1 cup shredded coconut, unsweetened

1/2 cup honey

1/4 cup oil

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup ground flax seed

Preheat oven to 300.  Mix oats and coconut in a large mixing bowl.  In a separate bowl mix honey, oil and peanut butter.  Pour over oat mixture and mix well.  Spread on jelly roll pans about 1/2" deep.  Bake for 30-45 min or until starting to brown.  Stir occasionally.

Set out to cool.  Mix in flax seed.  Enjoy!

Cranberry Almond Granola

I love this stuff!  I was so excited to find I could tolerate gluten free oats just fine and had to try making some safe granola.  As with all grains, soaking it makes it easier to digest.

6 cups gluten free rolled oats (quick oats will work fine too)

1 cup shredded coconut, unsweetened (you can leave this out, just add another cup of oats)

1 cup sliced almonds

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup honey

1/4 cup oil (melted coconut oil tastes yummy in this recipe)

3/4 cup dried cranberries

1/2 cup ground flax seed

Preheat oven to 300F.  Mix oats and coconut in a large mixing bowl.  In a separate bowl, mix vanilla, honey and oil.  Pour over oat mixture and stir to coat.  Spread out in a jelly roll pan about 1/2" deep.  Use 2 or more pans if needed.  Bake for 30-45 min, until starting to brown.  Stir occasionally.

Set out to cool.  Mix in cranberries and flax seed.  Enjoy!
