Back to Nature Granola

 Found this granola, Back to Nature, at my local grocery store. Finding a lot more gluten free foods in mainstream stores.

Certified gluten free. The blueberries, apples and pineapple juice makes it sweet and no need to add nasty corn syrup.

This product fits in with my diet since it is both gluten and corn free. The oats are gluten free. No wheat products, naturally sweetened.

I liked this a lot and it was quite satisfying.

* 2 Tablespoons whole flax seeds
* 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
* 1/2 cup honey
* 2 Tablespoons blackstrap molasses
* 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
* 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

- preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Put all ingredients in large bowl
- Add honey, molasses and coconut oil
- mix well
- add cinnamon and salt
