I often describe butter + sugar’s Toasted Granola as “addictively snackable.” Is it a snack is it a breakfast food? It’s both! I first adapted this granola from an Eleven Madison Park recipe to round out my Christmas morning breakfast spread many years ago. I placed the granola on the table with some greek yogurt and fresh berries and watched as family members built their own yogurt parfaits. We ate most of the jar at breakfast, but some remained and throughout the rest of the day, I noticed as family members wandered past the jar, pouring out and eating handfuls as a crunchy snack. The next year, by popular demand, I had to put a jar of granola in each person’s stocking! y.

I’m here to give you a little pep talk that you absolutely can have a delicious gluten-free Thanksgiving, one where everyone can enjoy the food safely and then fall asleep watching football later. This year marks my family’s 15th year of gluten-free Thanksgivings, so I speak from experience. I’m going to give you a few dos and don’ts to make the day run more smoothly.

The Salted Brownie feels like it’s always been with me. I honestly can’t remember where I first found the recipe. Was it originally a gluten-free recipe or did I degluten it? How many test batches did I bake before I “nailed” it? Heck, I can’t even remember eating a brownie that wasn’t THIS Salted Brownie.
