Information About Gluten-Free Oats

Although oats are naturally gluten-free, growing, harvesting, and processing them can pose problems for individuals with celiac disease or gluten allergies. This is because oats are often cultivated near wheat, which can lead to cross-contamination. – The Gluten Free Austrian

It’s essential to seek out certified gluten-free oats. They are widely available in the United States with safe brands like Bob’s Mills. Bob’s Mills also makes non-GF Oats, so be careful to look for the GF Brand on the package. I mention this as I ordered GF Oats from a Grocery Delivery Service last week, and the delivery came with non-GF Oats. Not paying attention, I unknowingly ate them and had a bad stomach ache. I discovered later what had happened.

Instructions to Make Homemade Chunky Peanut Butter Granola

Step 1 – Gather Your Ingredients

Ingredients for Gluten-Free Granola — Gluten Free Oatmeal, Vanilla, Honey, Peanut Butter, Peanut Powder, Salt

Step 2 –

Heat Peanut Butter and Honey in a Saucepan on low heat until warm and well combined. Remove from heat.

Step 3 –

Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients in a Large Bowl. Mix thoroughly. I used my hands as the Oat Mixture was very stiff.

Step 4 –

Spread Granola Oat Mixture onto a lightly oiled Heavy Baking Tray. You can also place parchment paper on a baking tray. Press down firmly until Granola is an even layer. I used a spatula to flatten the Granola. This helps to ensure you will have nice clusters and chunks.
