The Honey and Granola Recipe of Your Gluten-Free Dreams

The Honey and Granola Recipe of Your Gluten-Free Dreams

Over the past few years, delish, gluten-free products have flooded the market—making both celiac and gluten intolerances *way* more manageable. Although ingredients like corn, soy, potatoes, and wheat are off the table (literally), you can now satiate pretty much any craving with just a quick visit to the G.F. aisle at your local grocery store. But for those days when you're in the mood for something that's wholemade, packed with  superfoods, and doubles as breezy breakfast and a crunchy afternoon snack—a quick batch of granola, sans-gluten, is definitely what the doctor ordered. Plus, while a store bought package definitely won't include immunity-boosting, protein-packed ingredients straight from the hive, your's *definitely* will.
