The post Gluten-Free Nuts Granola appeared first on The Gluten-Free Corner.
]]>After some time, I learned that outs didn’t have gluten, but they are commonly processed in wheat processing machines, making them contain severe cross-contamination. The solution was to find gluten-free oats, which are nothing more than oats processed in a dedicated facility. That was my chance to make some healthy and yummy granola.
Although nowadays you can find granola gluten-free (although little of them are actual granola since they don’t have oats), it’s always healthier to know what you are eating, and of course, it is a big plus to be able to customize you own 
You can use all kind of nuts and seeds to make it as you like!
Like many others, I like my granola with clusters (oh yeah!), so to achieve them, you just have to press them after turning over the granola half-way the cooking time (don’t worry, I’ll tell you when ;)).
So here is my version of homemade gluten-free granola, I hope you like it!

Ingredients
300 g certified gluten-free rolled oats (3 cups)
(not the instant one, read the labels for possible contamination!)300 g nuts of your choice (3 cups)
(I used raw cashew nuts, almonds, coconut flakes, and dried cranberries).90 g peanut butter (unsalted and unsweetened) (around 1/2 cup)
You can use other nut butter if you want too70 g honey (1/4 cup)
70 g maple syrup (1/4 cup)
4 g salt (1/2 tsp)
1/3 cup olive oil
1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (170°C).
- In a bowl add the dry ingredients and mix well.
- Now add everything else and mix it all!
- Prepare a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper so the sugar doesn’t stick on the bottom.
- Evenly distribute the granola through the baking sheet, pressing a little to level it up.
- Now it’s baking time! Bake the granola for 10 minutes.
- After the time has passed, take the baking sheet out and start turning the granola either with a spoon or a spatula. This way you will mix up things a little bit. Distribute evenly the granola again in the baking sheet.
Now, if you like clusters in your granola, press the granola so everything sticks together. - Continue baking the granola for 15 minutes until everything has a nice brown color. Be careful! Every oven if different so you may require a bit less of time. Don’t brown it too much, we want it to look and taste nice!!
- After the cooking time, take out your granola and leave it sit there for a few hours to cool. This is vital for the granola to set and keep everything together.
- Now enjoy! It goes great with fresh berries and yogurt. Remember to experiment and find your granola other-half
