Gluten Free Granola - Courtesy of Art and Orchids B&B, Hilo

2 cups gluten free oats
1 cup coarsely chopped macadamias (almonds are a lot cheaper)
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup shredded coconut
2 tbsp. oil
1/2 cup honey  (substitute agave if you like)

Directions:
Mix all dry ingredients except macadamias in mixing bowl.  Preheat oven to 300 degrees and toast nuts until golden brown.  Combine oil and honey and toss thoroughly with dry ingredients.  Spread into a pan and bake at 300 degrees for 15 min., turn mixture over and bake for another 7-10 min. Be sure to check on the granola after 5 min. since it will brown quickly and continue to cook even after you pull it out.  As soon as you remove it from the oven, toss in the nuts and scrape the granola into another container before it cools or else all your hard work will stay stuck to the pan!  This is so yummy I could eat tons of it!  Melanie
