Back when I lived in the San Juan mountains of Colorado, I was an avid hiker. At any given point you could find bags of trail mix in my backpack, some store-bought, most home made. I haven’t been hiking since I was diagnosed with Celiac last year, but Elizabeth over at Wildflower Morning has a recipe for gluten-free granola that I am bookmarking immediately.
Celiacs are used to bringing their own snacks on trips both near and far, but it’s especially important anytime you’re going to be out in the wilderness. In my pre-celiac life, I could ask a fellow weekend warrior for a Power Bar if I ran out, but celiacs run the risk of having nothing to eat no matter who you run into on the trail. If you find yourself two miles into a 12-mile hike with no fuel left, you run the risk of bonking in the middle of nowhere. That’s a dangerous scenario.
Even more reason to take a look at her recipe! I’m not supposed to eat oats for a good year while my system heals, but for those of you that can eat oats, this looks like a great mix.
