It's really hard to find granola without wheat so I make my own. I change it up depending on what I have on hand. Unfortunately I never measure anything when I make granola so it taste a little different each time, but this one is worth me noting because it was so delicious. It had a nice balance of salty, sweet, mixed with a good crunch that had me craving it!  I made this batch to take on a trip for an easy wholesome breakfast.

I use a commercial grade mixing bowl that is HUGE. My approximate ingredients:
5-6 Large Juice cans (I use an empty one as my "measuring can" approximately 1qt plus)
1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
1 cup raw shredded coconut
1/2 tb cardamom
1 Tb salt
1/2-1 cup ground flax seed
2 cups oat flour (this helps make little chunks of deliciousness)
combine all
in a sauce pan heat up until melted
2 cups canola oil (or enough to have your oats glistening)
1/2 cup molasses
1 cup xylitol

Spread on a pan and cook at 350F turning around every 15 minutes or when it starts to brown. Towards the end check it in shorter intervals. Allow to dry and store at room temperature. Keeps for weeks.  You can add dry fruit once it is out of the oven. I also like to add orange rind to my above mix or vanilla. Get creative. If your mix is not crunchy enough add more oil to your future mix. Enjoy!

Pour over mix and combine with your hands

I realize potatoes and corn are not good on the Initial Phase Diet, nor the Life Phase one.  However, when you have a household that has so many dietary needs you have to eat what you can and potatoes and corn are safe foods so they are part of our rotation diet.  We do not eat to loose weight, we eat to nourish our body the best we can and if we stay slim well then GREAT! :)

ALLERGY GROCER has a great selection plus FREE shipping if you spend over $100 which is not a problem for me to do.

If you know someone with Celiac you know cross contamination is VERY dangerous. They offer a TOASTER BAG that aids with preventing cross contamination.

We used Meridian Valley. It is only around a $139 for over 80 foods. You can order the kit and take it to your lab for the blood draw
