Hi Ladies, I read every single package at Whole Foods for granola and am now convinced I am going to make my own. If you make granola, which recipe do you use? I couldn't find any listed on the site.

Thanks, Katie

I used to soak few dates in hot waters nod some rapeseed oil, then blend. Mix this through oats and nuts. Roast in oven for 20 mins. Then I'd add seeds. Eat with milk and strawberries. Now I leave out the date mixture and just dry roast. But I'm on list 5 so it's not for everyone!

Thoughtfull food makes a Giddy up and Go granola with agave. Probably not good to eat every day but your kids would like it. You can order it on line or have  your local store pick it up. Developed by a mom with Ulcerative Colitis.

Hope you feel better SOON. Also have a look at paleo granola. That is with nuts and spices so you might use a little of it to put on yogurt but it will give you that granola feel
You can modify a recipe like this.  Leaving out the coconut and sweetener. Maybe add some Trader Joes freeze dried raspberries or blueberries to it after it has cooked and cooled?
