When I heard the news that BOB’S RED MILL NATURAL FOODS added several gluten-free granolas to their list of products I couldn’t wait to try them. I start almost every day with a bowl of non-fat Greek Yogurt…I like plain, fresh fruit, and a small helping of granola. This gives me plenty of energy to get through to lunch time and I know I’m eating something that is good for me. I love the combination of crunchy granola, tart yogurt, and ripe, sweet fresh fruit. Our friends at BOB’S RED MILL have generously offered a give-away of these scrumptious new products to 3 of Wives with Knives readers…yes, you read that right…I can send a set of these new granolas to 3 lucky winners.
Both the HONEY OAT and APPLE BLUEBERRY GRANOLAS are made with gluten-free whole grain rolled oats, brown rice, brown rice syrup, dried fruit, and all natural flavorings. Granola is a great snack right out of the bag or with milk as a hot or cold cereal, and it’s easy to make your own trail mix by adding dried fruits, nuts, M&M’s… whatever you like.
APPLE BLUEBERRY GRANOLA
I have written about BOB’S RED MILL several times here on my blog and you can read about their company and their amazing retail store HERE. If you visit Portland it is a must-see stop on your itinerary. It’s right off the freeway and is easy to get to from almost any place in the city. You will be overwhelmed by all the wonderful products they manufacture. A feature I particularly like is that most products can be purchased in bulk so you can buy just what you need.
Entering this giveaway is easy – just leave a comment and, if you aren’t already a subscriber to my recipe updates, sign up so you receive an email notification of new posts. I would appreciate it so much if you would. And PLEASE make sure I have a way to contact you so, if you are one of the 3 lucky winners, I can let you know about it.
Granola Cookies
Granola is the main ingredient in these delicious, healthy cookies. They are full of good stuff and could even be called a breakfast cookies. Add any combination of dried fruits, nuts, and chips you like and you will have a quick and easy snack for the kiddos of all ages who need an energy boost on warm summer days.
Don’t forget….leave a comment to enter this giveaway. It will be open until noon on Friday, June 27. I hope you are one of the lucky winners. I’m sending a big THANK YOU to the great people at Bob’s Red Mill for offering this terrific product giveaway to my readers.

Every bit of that looks delicious, healthy and nutritious. I love yogurt, fruit and granola. I’ve recently become a big fan of the Greek yogurt.
I’ve used several of the Bob’s Red Mill products. I will be on the lookout for these 2.
Thanks for sharing your ideas and recipes.
Greek yogurt is my favorite too, Ramona. I like the granola, fruit and yogurt as dessert sometimes. I could eat it any time of day.

I really enjoy Bob’s Red Mill products and recipes that utilize them as I have family that I want to make sure are comfortable coming to my once a month big dinner I host. Also, I love the recipes I receive in my email from this site.
Thank you, Heather. Red Mill products are the best.

The gluten free offerings keep getting better and better!
I agree. There are so many wonderful products to choose from. Thank you for your comment, Cheri.

Thanks for the heads-up about these new products from Bob’s Red Mill. I love their product line and the fact that they’re always expanding with new ones for us trying to be gluten-free.
The cookies look great – do you think we could just replace with gluten-free AP flour, too?
Hi Nancy – I don’t have any experience with GF flour but I would suggest using a combination of it and almond flour and see what kind of results you get. It’s a cookie with lots of texture and chewiness so I bet it would be delicious. Thank you so much for your comment.

Cathy,
I did reply before — and again now — via your comment page on the website. If there is a different way, please let me know the specific email address that will be private with my address.
Bobs red mill has some great products. I eat their flax every day.
Your breakfast looks delicious, and I am not a yogurt lover, but I would eat that! Please enter me! I have had to adopt GF lifestyle after getting the double whammy – psoriatic arthritis. Diet is a major help in getting it under control and keeping it there. Thanks for the giveaway! xo
Granola is one of my favorite foods and paired with yogurt is even more amazing!
I just started a gluten and dairy free diet! Dr. orders. I know I would love this granola

I love Bob’s Red Mill products. His ground almond flour is great, as well as the multi grain cooked cereals. The grandola sounds delicious!
Hi Cathy, I love Bob’s Red Mill products, I just bought a bag of their buckwheat flour yesterday. Great products! Also your cookie recipe sounds wonderful.

The granolas sound great Cathy as do the cookies (with nuts please:@) Thanks for the fun give-away, please toss my name into the hat!
I’ve always been so tempted to buy granola to round out my almond milk yogurt, but never had the guts to shell out $7.00 for a GF brand that might be too sweet or taste “off”. THANK GOD Bob’s now creates a granola! I use Bob’s everything, from the GF AP Flour to the brown rice farina. I know his granola will be awesome since his products always taste so deliciously rustic. And Apple Blueberry: who’da thunk those two flavors could combine? I NEED TO TRY THIS CONCOCTION!
That all looks delicious, and I love Bob’s!
The parfait looks so good, and the cookies oh my gosh category. Great job Cathy.

Bob’s Red Mill products are wonderful and I am happy to hear of this new addition! My favorite is to layer Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla), fresh fruit, granola and a drizzle of Greek honey…..reminds me of breakfast on the Aegean Islands! Thank you for the enjoyable hours spent making many of your recipes!
Being a fellow Oregonian, I have enjoyed Bob’s Red Mill products for years.
I love making my own granola because they are expensive to purchase here…how lovely for your winners to be able to try out these new products. Love the look of your healthy cookies, scrumptious!
those look amazing
Your parfaits are so pretty Cathy and Bob’s Red Mill makes the most fantastic products. What a generous give-away.

Thanks for the chance to win – Bob’s products are amazing!
Would love to try these products!!
Oh, I just love granola. When I was in high school back in the ’60’s my mom used to say I looked like a squirrel always snacking on the grains and nuts. And isn’s Bob’s a great company? Thanks for the opportunity to win.
You are so fortunate having such a wonderful company nearby! I feel the same good fortune having Penzeys located here
I love everything about those cookies and parfait! We are lucky that we don’t have any gluten-intolerant people in our family so I will leave the chance of winning these wonderful products to someone who does need them.

I would live to try this granola with my yogurt. Thanks for the giveaway.
The yogurt with granola and berries looks so healthy, Cathy. I’d love a cookie (or two) right now. I’m still enjoying my Bob’s Red Mill gifts so there’s no need to enter me. I’ll look forward to seeing who the lucky winner is.

Thank you SO very much for making me aware of their new gluten-free granola Cathy! I am cutting way back on gluten to see if it alleviates some physical issues I’ve been dealing with AND I adore granola! I will start looking for this in the stores–yum!

What a GREAT idea, to make gluten-free granola! My brother & several of my sewing friends have to avoid gluten so I can’t wait to tell them about this.
