What could be better than a bowl of homemade gluten free honey almond granola? It’s crunchy, sweet and the perfect breakfast treat!
I make a batch of homemade granola about once a week. It’s a family fave, for sure. The biggest granola fan in our house is my husband. He has celiac disease and has tried MANY gluten free granolas over the years. He still says, “homemade is best!” With a little vanilla yogurt, it’s his go-to snack.
For this gluten free honey almond granola recipe, you only need a few ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. Rolled oats (make sure they are certified gluten free!), sliced almonds, honey, brown sugar, oil, vanilla and salt. The sweet honey mixture is poured over the oats and almonds, tossed to coat, then baked until golden brown and perfectly crunchy. It’s important to not stir after removing from the oven. Let the granola cool in the pan so you can break it up into clusters. Those delicious granola clusters are the BEST!
I’m so excited to share with you this easy, homemade granola recipe! The crunch from the almonds and oats, along with the sweetness from the honey and brown sugar, make it irresistible. The vanilla adds just a little something extra too! Once you make this gluten free honey almond granola, you will want to always have a jar of it on your counter to enjoy all week. It’s just that good!
