Low-FODMAP Granola/Trail Mix; Gluten free, Dairy free

Although this low-FODMAP granola has not been tested, a single serving should be low FODMAP based on the ingredients.

Prep time: 55 minutes (10 minutes preparation, 45 minutes baking)
Bake: 300 F
Servings: 6 or more

Ingredients:

• 3 cups rolled oats
• ¼ cup coconut oil (can also use butter)
• ½ cup brown rice syrup or maple syrup (Brown rice syrup makes for a clumpier granola.)
  • You can also use ¼ cup each (I usually do a both maple syrup and brown rice syrup combination)
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• ½ tsp. vanilla
• ½ tsp. cinnamon
• About 2 cups of stir-ins (substitute to your preference):
  • ½ to 1 cup (maximum 110 g) unsweetened coconut flakes
  • ½ cup (maximum 72 g) sliced almonds
  • ¼ cup (maximum 140 g) chia or pumpkin seeds
  • ½ cup (maximum 120 g) pecan halves
  • ½ cup (maximum 180 g) walnut halves
  • ½ cup (maximum 90 g) hazelnuts
• The following stir-ins can be added pre- or post-bake depending on preference; I prefer post-bake:
  • ½ cup (maximum 78 g) raisins
  • ½ cup (maximum 78 g) dried cranberries (no added juices)
  • ½ cup (maximum 180 g) semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:

• Combine oats, cinnamon and selected stir-ins to be baked in a large bowl
• Melt coconut oil in microwave, about 30 seconds
• Combine coconut oil, brown sugar, vanilla and syrups in a second medium bowl
• Pour liquid over oats and stir to cover
• Spread mixture flat on a baking sheet (2 sheets for doubled recipe) and bake for 20 to 25 minutes
• Stir with spatula and then finish baking to 45 minutes total
• Let cool, then mix in remaining stir-ins, such as chocolate chips, raisins or dried cranberries, if desired

Try a combination!

• Store in an airtight container if it lasts longs enough to be stored…
• So good over low-FODMAP Ice Cream
