Making Granola - Sub For Oats?

Hey folks,

I found some great homemade granola recipes, but would like to find a sub for oats. I haven't been brave enough to try the gluten-free oats, so as an "in case," what are my options? The first thing that came to mind was amaranth flakes, but I'd like some input. Thanks!

Possibly quinoa flakes? I haven't made gluten-free granola so can't say this would work well.

Depending on the recipe maybe you can sub rice krispie , chex or whole o's gluten-free cereals. I knwo they are not flake-like but I don't think there are too many subs for oats.

A company called Bakery On Main makes yummy gluten-free granola that is also oatmeal free.

The above is my favorite but they have several varieties. The desription says:

"We gently toast corn flakes and rice crisps with sesame, sunflower, and flax seeds into golden clusters of crunchy goodness. Then we add plump cranberries, almonds and pecans for a delicious snack or breakfast cereal."

So pretty much any cereal could work for making your own (gluten-free corn flakes, gluten-free rice crispies, etc)

I've wondered about using rice flakes in place of oats, but didn't find any last I looked. Have not looked for a source for them in awhile though.

Have you tried to find a granola recipe that does not contain oats? I don't think that the oats are really substitutable in a way that would make the granola have the same texture and taste. I think that other cereals/flakes would get mushy fast and it would likely go stale very quickly. Or you could just try gluten-free oats.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions! Next week I'm going to try to make some granola - and if anything turns out, I'll be sure to post here.

GlutenFreeManna - I LOVE Bakery on Main! They're my go-to for "purse food." I like the idea of corn flakes - I actually have some kicking around, I think, from some other culinary attempt. Hmmm.

Mizzo, I may also try some Chex - I certainly have enough of them kicking around these days! Thanks!

I bought some granola at Trader Joe's yesterday. They use corn puffs (half spheres) to sub for oats.

Puffed corn, rice bran, raisin juice concentrate, honey, salt, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, raisins, sesame seeds, coconut, walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, cranberries, pecans, apricots, brazil nuts, vanilla, maple, sea salt.

Whew! Long list!

Rice flakes (Pohu/Pawa/Powa/Poha) - Thin, medium or thick style - are available from Indian supermarkets. Also try South African or Pacific Islander markets - they can Indian items also.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
