Gluten Free Coconut Granola

Posted in Gluten Free

If you’ve ever priced gluten free granola at the store, you know it can get pretty pricey which is a problem if you have someone in your family who really likes granola. When you have several people who like granola, you end up using granola as a garnish rather than as the main breakfast dish because it’s just too expensive. One of those store-bought bags of granola usually equals roughly 4 bowls of cereal – maybe. Since I buy gluten free oats in bulk, the cost of making oatmeal and granola goes down significantly.

Some places have snow on the ground. The longing for spring has already started to fill people’s hearts. Epic Tomatoes will not help with that – at all.
