I couldn't get it to be crunchy enough, though so I baked it again and almost burned it. It's been about 2-3 months that I've been gluten free and over a month that I've been grain free. I think maybe the raisins didn't agree with me. I think it's a great idea to use raisins as the sticky base, but maybe my system just isn't ready for it?</p> <p>I've never had problems with raisins before, or with many of the foods that I'm reacting to now. I wonder if making the granola with a honey or agave base would work? Maybe some butter? I'd like to find an alternative. </p> <p>The children either have a muffin or yogurt for breakfast and they are getting a little bored. I need some quick easy recipes for the morning. They don't care for eggs in and of themselves, but will eat them in other foods.</p> <p>Thanks for any suggestions.</p> <p>Blessings,<br /> Betty </p>
