Granola

Wow. Let's hope I'm not as terrible at posting in the future. Let's get down to brass tacks...Granola. If you've ever made granola, and you're like me, your mind starts going wild thinking of all the combinations or things to try. Let's not get ahead of ourselves though. Here's a basic recipe that is Gluten Free and Casein Free/Dairy Free. Oats don't bother me too much, but if you're Celiac, then you should make sure you get a certified GF oat.

Granola
3 Cups Oats
3/4 Coconut oil
1/2 Ground Flax
1/2 honey
1 tsp vanilla extract or almond extract

Mix all together and bake at 325 for about 20 min, check to see if it's browned a little but don't let it get too brown. At about 20 min you can take it out and use a spatula to mix a little (it'll cook more evenly)

Note about Ingredients:
I prefer to use an extra virgin coconut oil, you can read about it's health benefits here, or just google health benefits of coconut oil. I'll post about where I buy most of my ingredients but until then, I buy mine online here (they usually have something on sale, so you can get a pretty good deal).
