World's Safest Granola

The purpose of this recipe is to avoid any gluten allergies or FODMAP issues. This can easily be adapted to a normal granola by buying regular Quaker oats and chocolate chips from the store and replacing it in the recipe. As it is, this one tastes great and can be eaten by everyone!

Prep time: 10 mins.
Cook time: 15-20 mins.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 bag Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats
• 1-2 bags Enjoy Life Mega Chunks Gluten Free Non-GMO Semi-Sweet Chocolate LARGE or SMALL chips (Whole Foods, Trader Joes, or Amazon)
• 4-5 Whole Eggs
• 1/2 cup Maple Syrup (can use honey if you do not need FODMAP free)
• 2-3 Tbs Peanut butter
• ~ 1/2 cup Vegetable oil
• 4 Tbs Vanilla Extract (optional, you can skip this)
• 2 cups peanuts (optional, you can skip this)
• Kraft Marshmallows (Kraft are GF. optional, you can skip this)
• 1/2 tsp salt

Materials:

• Baking Pan (I usually use standard 9x9x2in or 11x7x2in-- think brownie pan?)
• Aluminum foil
• Mixing Bowl + Spoon
• Oven

Directions:

1. Place oven on 425 degrees F.
2. Mix all of your dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl (oats, chocolate, peanuts, marshmallows).
3. Add the eggs, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract (optional) into a separate bowl and mix. Then pour contents of wet bowl into dry mix.
4. Mix together all ingredients into large bowl. Add enough vegetable oil so that the mixture is "doughy" .. you don't want a liquidy mixture. Think play-doh texture or clay.
5. Add 1-2Tbs vegetable oil to bottom of pan with aluminum foil.
6. Put granola mixture on top of pan.
7. Put pan with granola into oven for ~10 minutes.
8. If mix is bubbling, let sit out for 5 minutes, turn off oven, then put back into oven for another 5-10 minutes until top is crispy brown.
9. Allow to cool on countertop or fridge, cut into slices or scoop into a tupperware for later. Can store in fridge.

Optional Ideas! Change it up! Add in other ingredients you enjoy like dried berries or white chocolate chunks.
