Question 1

What if I can't find oat bran?

Accepted Answer

Other ingredients you can substitute for oat bran in gluten-free homemade granola would be oats ground into flour, more oats, nuts, or coconut. If gluten is ok for you, wheat germ (not gluten-free) or wheat bran (not gluten-free) work well.

Question 2

Can I make this recipe vegan?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Substitute any coconut oil for the butter, and your recipe will be gluten-free and vegan.

Question 3

Can I use any nuts instead of almond slivers?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can substitute any chopped or whole nut for slivered almonds. I like the toasted crunch of thin, blanched almonds, but chopped whole pecans or cashews are tasty, too. (See Heather's tip above for nut resources!)

Question 4

Can I make this granola sugar-free?

Accepted Answer

You do not have to add honey to this recipe, but apple juice is necessary to moisten the granola.

Question 5

How long does this recipe for easy granola stay fresh, and how should I store it?

Accepted Answer

This granola keeps well on the counter in an airtight container for up to a week, and up to two if you refrigerate.
