Tasty Ingredients to Add to Cinnamon Granola

Homemade granola is so easy to customize to your favor flavors and add-ins. You can add any of the following into my cinnamon granola recipe:

• Nuts – chopped walnuts, pecans, or pistachios are delicious options for cinnamon granola.
• Seeds like sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and flax seeds.
• Dried fruit like raisins, cherries, and apricots.
• Unsweetened coconut
• Chia seeds
• Seasonings like pumpkin spice, or even savory spices like chili powder or curry powder will kick up the flavor of any gluten free granola recipe!

Why Using Certified Gluten Free Oats is Important

It is really important to know that when you are on a gluten free diet, it is critical to ensure that the oats you use are certified gluten free. Cross contamination is a huge issue for oats and I don’t want anyone to get sick!! Our family loves Trader Joe’s Oats and Bob’s Red Mill Rolled Oats. Both are certified gluten free and nobody in our family has ever reacted to them.

Our family puts this homemade granola on everything!! They even eat it right off the baking tray! Here are some of our favorite ways to eat granola

I used coconut oil in my recipe, but you can also use other light oils like avocado oil.
