Gluten-free Granola: Two recipes for delicious homemade granola

It’s hard to find good, fresh and affordable granola when you’re a celiac or simply on a gluten-free diet. That’s why we created the Nutbrown range of grain-free and gluten-free granolas. 

But you can also make it yourself with ingredients you can easily find! And contrary to popular belief, many grains and pseudo-grains are gluten-free.
