Honey Almond Granola Gluten-Free
A light flavored granola, perfect for breakfast, sprinkling, or snacking.
Ingredients
- 3 Cups Gluten-Free Oats
- 1/2 Cup Slivered Almonds Can use chopped or sliced almonds instead
- 1/3 Cup Light Colored Honey
- 1/3 Cup+1 Tbsp Light Brown Sugar
- 2 Tbsp Quinoa (Optional)
- 1 Tsp Ground Flax Seed (Optional)
- 1/2 Tsp Salt
- 3 Tbsp Canola or Vegetable Oil
- 1/4 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 Tsp Almond Extract
Instructions
- Pre-Heat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine oats, almonds (SEE NOTE), brown sugar, salt, quinoa, and flax meal. Mix well.
- In a small separate bowl, combine the honey, oil, vanilla, and almond extract. Mix well then pour over the oat mixture.
- Combine the oats and honey mixture using a spatula or your hands, ensuring that all the oats are coated in the honey/oil mixture.
- Pour onto the baking sheet and spread out evenly.
- Bake for 10 min then remove from the oven and stir. Then bake for 5 more minutes. Be careful not to burn your almonds.
- Remove from oven and let cool. Oats will be soft at first but they will firm up as they cool.
- Store in a tightly sealed container.
Notes
If using sliced almonds, add them to the last 5 minutes of cooking to prevent them from burning.
Dried cherries can be added for a bit more sweetness if desired. Add them once the granola has cooled.
