Since you're not necessarily depen...Hi Rachel,<br /><br />Since you're not necessarily depending on the gluten in the flour to stretch and hold as in bread, I would assume that any gluten-free flour would do -- even almond or coconut flour. Really, the flour I add is just to keep the oats and goodies in better clusters since my kids like it that way : )<br /><br />Thanks! aeAmy Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03236051477051468876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235967534589957755.post-68557247396273763352011-08-06T18:00:11.598-04:002011-08-06T18:00:11.598-04:00forgot to check to box to email me the response!

I added cinnamon, dried blueberries, and dried apricots. I also added the coconut afterward, rather than baking it with the granola. I'm thinking that I'll add grated orange rind the next time. That's something that I've done with other recipes, and it's always a hit. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe! 6 out of 7 family members loved it -- the other one had already gone to work, so he'll have to love it later. :-)Daynahttp://www.pleasantboundaries.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235967534589957755.post-6039487925315712542011-01-18T20:54:34.669-05:002011-01-18T20:54:34.669-05:00I cannot wait to try this!

I think I'll use the called-for amount of yogurt next time, because I would like it to be crunchier-- I baked it for 2 hours and it's still quite soft. Thanks!

Certain oils may make a cakier granola than coconut oil... and certainly applesauce would. <br /><br />The flour is added because it helps the granola clump up a bit... that's how my little hands like it as they snack on it. Omitting the flour would make a granola more similar to store bought brands... single-oat-like.<br /><br />Hope this helps!

If quick oats are used, they will soak up the yogurt mixture before it can be spread evenly. It will also leave the oats indistinguishable in the flour mixture. And, being much wetter in places, it can affect the baking time. This is my first thought.<BR/><BR/>AlsoAmy Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03236051477051468876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235967534589957755.post-72084236383348338952009-04-11T17:13:00.000-04:002009-04-11T17:13:00.000-04:00I don't know what happened...I made your granola t...I don't know what happened...I made your granola twice, just to make sure I hadn't done anything wrong, and it turned out weird both times. First of all, the amount of yogurt did not seem to be sufficient to properly "soak" the grains. It was a very dry mixture. Also, the amount of whole wheat flour seemed like too much, as when the granola was done baking, the oats were indistinguishable. The flour made it more like a cookie. Also, it did not bake in the time the recipe states. It took about three times as long, and I had to flip the granola over becuase it was so dense that it was not drying out.<BR/><BR/>I have been looking for a good soaked granola recipe, so I'd like to find one that works. Can you tell me if I'm doing something wrong?<BR/><BR/>Thanks!<BR/>AngieMrsHepphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08929260227128222694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235967534589957755.post-26872626798424212282009-04-06T21:15:00.000-04:002009-04-06T21:15:00.000-04:00Thanks for this recipe!
