Gluten Free Honey Granola

Now on to this next recipe I only have two words: Yummy and Healthy! This granola can also be really versatile (you'll see what I mean). It has a great clumpy texture like some commercial granolas. It's seriously so easy and cheap to make. In my husband's words, "Hmm...this tastes like candy." (Ha ha. He doesn't eat a lot of sweets.)
  

Heart Healthy Honey Granola

(Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free)
Adapted by jalene 

Ingredients:

• 2 cups gluten-free raw oats
• 1/2 cup raw slivered almonds
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 2 tsp flaxseed, 2 tsp sunflower seeds, 2 tsp sesame seeds, 2 Tbsp unsweetened coconut, 4 Tbsp raw cashews = 1/2 cup (or choose your own adventure, see note)

Directions: 

1. Preheat oven to 300 F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or non-stick baking mat. 
2. Mix all the ingredients together in a medium size bowl until well coated (mixture will be sticky). Spoon and spread out onto the prepared pan. 
3. Bake for 15 minutes then stir. Bake for additional 15 minutes or until mixture is golden brown. Check often to prevent burning. 
4. After you remove from the oven, allow the granola to cool. This allows it to harden and become clumpy like store-bought granola. 

Makes about 3 cups. Tastes great with anyone of my milk alternatives.

Notes from jalene:

The great thing about this recipe is that you can change it up with what you have on hand. Just make sure it adds up to be 1/2 cup. I love sesame seeds, raw cashews, raw sunflower seeds, unsweetened coconut, flaxseed, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc.  They all taste great with the honey flavor.
