Gluten Free Granola
What is Gluten Free Granola?
Granola is a popular breakfast cereal and snack, made primarily from oats and a variety of seeds and fruits. Typically no grains are used in a granola pack and you could assume that it is therefore gluten free. However, many packaged granola products use oats that have been tainted with grain during processing. Many of these cereals therefore cannot be certified as gluten free granola.
To be gluten free granola, the oats and other ingredients must not have been contaminated with grain during harvest or processing. The products selected by Buy Organics Online not only meet that criteria but also use ingredients that have been grown organically - giving you the opportunity to choose organic gluten free granola.

Home made gluten free granola is a relatively simple process, provided you can source gluten free products at reasonable prices and you enjoy getting your hands dirty in the kitchen. As with all granola recipes, ingredients can be swapped in and out as your taste desires - so long as you keep everything gluten free. But you can use this as a starter recipe and experiment with the ingredients as you go.
