Granola – Gluten-free version

Whole rolled gluten-free oats and nuts coated in honey and oil, spread on a baking sheet and baked at low heat, stirring, until golden; the granola hardens and turns crisp as it cools, and the dried fruit goes in only afterward. Gluten-free version: Gluten-free oats.

👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOvenParchment paper
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    In a large bowl, mix the gluten-free oats, almonds, walnuts, cinnamon and salt.
    Bowl
    💡For granola, use whole rolled gluten-free oats, not ground and not instant.
  3. 3
    Add the honey and oil and mix well, until everything is evenly coated.
  4. 4
    Spread the mixture in an even layer on the baking sheet.
    Baking pan
  5. 5
    Bake 20 minutes, until the granola is golden. Stir every 5 minutes so it doesn't burn.

    💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
  6. 6
    Take out of the oven and let cool completely: the granola dries out and hardens as it cools.
    💡Dried fruit isn't baked with the granola: add it only after the granola has cooled.
  7. 7
    Add the raisins and mix.
  8. 8
    Store in an airtight container so the granola stays crisp.
    Jar
    💡Granola that has lost its crunch after a few days turns crisp again after another short toast in the oven.
