Making homemade vegan gluten-free granola is super easy and good way to cut out all the extra additives and preserved of store bought. And lets not talk about the amount of sugar you’ll be able to cut out. We’ve added sesame seeds and pecans to the traditional recipe to give it a nice nutty kick. Other great seeds and nuts to add flaxseed, hemp seeds and or chia seed to add some hearty healthy omegas to your morning breakfast ritual.

Are oats gluten-free?
Oatmeal is gluten free. The issue is cross contamination. Most commercial oats are processed in facilities that also process wheat, this ingredients can contaminate oats. For those with Celiac, Wheat allergies or intolerances even a trace amount of gluten can cause severe discomfort. The best solution is to buy oats that are certified gluten-free by the Gluten-Free Certification Organization, a branch of the Gluten Intolerance Group.
