Why make granola?
I have been making homemade granola for years. Long before my family dealt with food allergies I made my own granola. But once I went gluten free and my oldest daughter developed her tree nut, peanut allergy, making homemade granola became a must.
Although you can now buy gluten free granola, when I went gluten free back 2009, there were very few store bought gluten free products available. I quickly realized that homemade granola was perfect because I could make it gluten free by using gluten free oats.
When my daughter developed her tree nut and peanut allergy in 2010, I quickly realized that very few store bought granola were safe for her to eat. Some store bought granola is nut free, but since it is processed on the same equipment as granola was nuts, it was not safe. Again, homemade granola became a must for us.
But even if you do not have food allergies homemade granola is great to make and keep on hand. It is easy and delicious. It can also be a lot less expensive to make than it is to buy store bought granola.
It is delicious for breakfast with milk or granola. It makes a great lunch as well. We have also been known to eat it dry as an afternoon or evening snack.

Today I am sharing some of my favorite granola recipes. All of the recipes can be made gluten free by using gluten free oats and reading labels to make sure that the ingredients are gluten free.
My daughter no longer lives at home, so I now use nuts and peanut butter in cooking, Most of the recipes that contain nuts can be made using nut and peanut free alternative nut butters like Sunbutter or Wowbutter. We made them that way for years. Be sure to also read labels to make sure that your ingredients are nut and peanut free.
