Any of you have a good recipe for granola and granola bars?
The recipe can not have any peanut butter in it. Nuts are bad news to my whole body!
Thanks!!!!

I tried to respond earlier when I online, but after 20 minutes on the computer my kids want my attention. Imagine that?
I thought granola is okay if you make your own with oatmeal. My problem is my gronola doesn't stick together and I don't want to add more oil. My recipe calls for 1/4 oil and I think that is a lot.

Would it help to add fruit puree like apple sauce to sub for the oil?

Hi - You might be able to substitute honey for some of the oil and then bake the granola. That way it would stick together (I think) but be lower fat.

Barbara - I just got a recipe for Granola off Kingarthurflour.com but I'm afraid it's rather IBS UNfriendly. It uses shredded coconut, chopped nuts, 1/2 c oil (wow!), hulled sunflower seeds, and mixed dried fruits.

It's roasted in the oven for 1 hr at 300 or 1.5 hrs at 275, or 2 hrs at 250. The recipe makes 5 lbs.

You can probably really chop the nuts fine (like in a mini food processor) as well as the seeds. The oil, tho, could be a problem. Maybe cut down (like Heather said) on the oil and increase the syrup or honey. Don't know if fruit puree would work--might make everything too soggy. I've never tried to make it because it's not one of my favorites.

Trader Joe's has a FF strawberry/apple granole that I used to eat, but since following Heather's diet, I haven't purchased it and I don't know what ingr it has in it. I'm going to Modesto April 8 and will probably go to TJ's and will look at the label for us.

Sorry I couldn't give you a usable recipe.

Sharon

Sharon you were a great help. I love granola and my children do too. Store bought granola doesn't agree with me.
Check your personal e-mail tomorrow. I came up with a great Buckwheat chocolate chip cookie today, with I it isn't great for IBS. I don't want to post until I know how to change the ingred.

This sounds really good! To be extra safe, I'd eliminate the coconut (which is high fat) and I'd reduce the amount of the dried fruit. I'd also chop up the dried fruit which will make the insoluble fiber more tolerable.

Best,
Heather
