Wheat-Free Granola (Muesli) image

This is based on my Recipe #202355, but has been revised to cater for a friend who can't eat wheat. I could have just noted the differences on the original recipe, but I wanted this recipe title to reflect the fact it is wheat-free (making it much easier for people who are searching for such recipes). I usually double the amounts shown here. If you decide to do the same, make sure you have a large enough pan. My ceramic roasting pan-which is 11" x 14"-holds a double recipe comfortably. My photo is of the dry ingredients.

Yield 14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup rice bran
1/2 cup barley natural bran
1 cup finely shredded coconut
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
1/2 cup raisins (currants and diced apricots are also good) or 1/2 cup other dried fruit (currants and diced apricots are also good)
1/2 cup butter
1/4-1/2 cup honey (depending on your sweet tooth)
1/2 tablespoon milk
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Combine all the dry ingredients in the baking pan (first seven items). Raisins (or other dried fruits) are added after cooking.
  • Heat the butter, honey, milk and salt in a small saucepan until all the butter melts.
  • Dribble honey-butter mixture over dry ingredients, and mix well to moisten all the dry ingredients.
  • Bake for 20-30 minutes (depending on how hot your oven runs), stirring frequently.
  • This can easily over-brown (burn), so keep an eye on it.
  • Remove from oven and stir in the raisins or other dried fruit.
  • When cool, store in an airtight container. It keeps very well.
