Nancy Overnight Granola Recipe (Gluten-Free, Nut-Free)
April 3rd, 2011 Nancy 
The first thing that resonated with me while reading Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon is that Americans eat junk for breakfast if they eat breakfast at all. Even “healthy cereal” is highly processed and full of additives. It is also very expensive. This recipe is frugal and easy. If you can make Rice Krispie treats, you can make this granola. We eat it just as it is but it would be delicious with coconut, dried fruit and/or nuts if you can tolerate them. It’s also good as a topping on yogurt or ice cream. While we still enjoy an occasional bowl of store bought cereal, this recipe is a staple at our house. I make a double batch of this several times a month.
Ingredients:
½ cup palm shortening
½ cup honey
½ cup sucanat/rapadura
1 tsp cinnamon
7 cups rolled oats (gluten free if necessary)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 for slightly chewy granola or 375 for crunchy granola. I prefer slightly chewy.
2. In a small saucepan add shortening, honey and rapadura. Cook on medium heat until shortening is melted and stir until ingredients are combined. The rapadura will not melt and become one with the oil. When you stop stirring the rapadura will settle to the bottom. That’s ok. Just give it a quick stir right before you add it to the oats.
3. In a large bowl combine oats and melted goodness.
4. Spread evenly on 2 parchment lined or very well greased 9 X 13 pans.
5. Put the pans in the oven and turn the oven OFF.
6. Go to bed.
7. Wake up and enjoy some delicious additive-free granola cereal. Granola will keep in an air tight container for weeks.
