Cat's Gluten Free Granola

I have always loved granola. One of my favorite breakfasts was always Granola with thick creamy greek yogurt and fresh berries...yum!
When I was told by the Doctor that i was intolerant to Gluten and allergic to dairy i thought Wow, I have been having both of those things every morning in a bowl!! No wonder I felt nauseous every morning. I thought I was just eating too fast r drank too much coffee, as us mother's do : )
I discovered sprouts and was so relieved because there is so many choices and options even for a restricted diet. Food doesn't have to be flavorless. I love to eat and love to feed others. I make this Granola with gluten free oats and have given it to my friends who have asked me for the recipe. I usually make a big batch but you can adjust the portions to suit your needs. I just store it in airtight containers in the pantry. So here it is girls!

Ingredients
5 cups of gluten free slow cooked oats
1/2 cup of brown rice flour
2 cup walnuts (I have made it with pecans but walnuts are better for you)
2 cup of almonds (I like to use slivered almonds but you can use whole too.)
1/2 cup of milled flaxseed
1/2 cup of chia seeds
1/4-1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper (gives a nice little kick. You can make without)
1/2 tsp Sea salt
3/4 cup Agave nectar (depending on how sweet you like it. You can also use honey if you don't have Agave)
3/4 cup of Canola oil or Grapeseed oil (or olive oil if you don't have Canola)
1/4 tsp vanilla essence

Method
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
Mix all dry ingredients together
Heat Agave and oil together in microwave for 20-30 secs until heated through. Remove from microwave and mix in vanilla essence.
Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix thoroughly.
Line baking sheets with non stick foil. Divide mixture evenly between 2 baking sheets. Bake for 35-45mins stirring occasionally so the edges don't burn (believe me that has happened to me a few times when i don't pay attention). Remove from oven and let cool on sheet trays.
Once cool store in airtight containers.

I love to eat it with Coconut milk yogurt but if you are lucky enough to be bale to enjoy dairy it would be amazing with greek yogurt. I have also made it with egg whites as a little omlette. Sounds gross?? Try it....you may be pleasantly surprised : )
Let me know what you think!!
