In the gluten free world a good granola is hard to come by, particularly because of the use of oats. Even when you are lucky enough to find a gluten free granola it is often bulging with sugar content, taking away from the natural flavors of the ingredients. JK Gourmet’s products are a good alternative to the norm described here. Their wide array of gluten free and grain free granolas and granola bites are naturally sweetened with honey and contain a limited number of wholesome ingredients. Recently I tried two of their products; their Original GG Bites and their Fig and Apricot Granola.

The Original GG Bites are phenomenal. Simple, sweet, and crispy these bites come in a bar like form. This makes them easy to pack and eat, with two small ‘bars’ being the perfect size for a small snack. I am a lover of sunflower seeds, and having them be the staple in these really sets them above other granola snacks I’ve tried. Further, the limited ingredient list truly lets the flavors stand out on their own as well as mingle together to create a refreshingly complete snack.

The Fig and Apricot granola was equally as appetizing. The inclusion of ingredients of different sizes, from the whole almonds and large dried fruit bits to the smaller sunflower seeds and sesame seeds, makes for a varying experience that is a bit unique for granola. I am not that big a fan of the dried fruits, but that is my own personal preference. The short list of ingredients is again a benefit for this product. In particular the natural sweeteners are minimal, which makes this a great granola to add to yogurt if you aren’t looking for excessive sweetness. I’ve been eating mine in a homemade parfait of plain Greek yogurt, strawberries, and honey.

Ultimately, JK Granola is a great find. In addition to being gluten free and grain free their granolas are also dairy free, non-GMO, Kosher, and Paleo-Friendly. Their line also includes other gluten free products including flours, baking mixes, biscotti, and bars. Check them out!
