Granola - Homemade and Gluten-free

 This week I decided that I wanted to make granola - I can't find any gluten-free varieties without spending a huge chunk of our grocery budget on it. I did not follow any  specific recipe.

The first thing I did was preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Next, I began putting ingredients that I like and that are gluten-free into a mixing bowl. I used:

About a cup of rolled oats (old-fashioned)

Honey - 1/4 to 1/2 cup

Cashews - 1 - 2 cups

Almond Butter - 1 -2 TBSP

 Almost 2 cups of dehydrated bananas and dehydrated cranberries

 A cup of unsweetened applesauce

When mixed together, it looked like above.

I put it all in a lightly oiled (canola oil) cookie sheet and baked for about 40 minutes. The result is below.

Once the granola was cooked, I put it all in a large bowl (after eating some, of course). It keeps well and tastes delicious. Be sure to put a lid on the bowl :)
