I’m currently sitting in the WiFi-less woods, either eating some sort of campfire breakfast, or gearing up for color war.
So yeah, this post was written on Friday….oh the time travel magic of wordpress!
My friend from college, being the industrious Ivy Leaguer that he is, decided to rent out a camp in upstate New York for Labor Day weekend. So I’ve been very busy losing my shorts in the lake and getting stuck on the climbing wall. I can’t wait to tell you all about it.
The packing list alone was enough to take me back to the days of cabins, chocolate chip pancakes, and peeing in the woods. Since it’s not like my mom would be sending me care packages for the weekend, in addition to my Tevas and bug spray, I wanted to make sure to bring plenty of gluten-free snacks.
So I decided to take time out of my busy schedule – i.e. running to Party City to buy water balloons and glow sticks – to bake up a double sized batch of this cashew crunch granola for the road. By now I’ve probably shared it, along with homemade friendship bracelets, with all my bunkmates.
If you’re not going back to camp anytime soon, just consider using this gluten-free granola recipe to make the perfect morning treat to get you ready for back to school…or work…since clearly no one does much of that during the summer.
I also love this no sugar added granola recipe.
I hope you enjoyed your last weekend of freedom!

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F
In a medium mixing bowl, microwave the honey and cashew butter until soft and easily mixable, about 20 seconds. Stir in the vanilla, garam masala, and salt. Fold in the cashews and oats and mix until fully coated in the honey mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the granola in an even layer. Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 20 to 25 minutes.
Store in an airtight container to eat with yogurt throughout the week.

Stefanie @ Sarcastic Cooking says Amazing snack idea. I love the smell of homemade granola when it is cooking. This is so making me hungry! I would love to go to camp as an adult. I was always sad I missed out on the camp experience, aside from one Girl Scout overnight camp, as a kid. I feel like water balloon fights, capture the flag, and making friendship bracelets would be so much more fun now!

The smell is amazing!! Especially with a little bit of spice involved. There were a lot of people this weekend who had never done camp and were trying to make up for it. There was also one guy who had actually been a camper at the camp we went to, which was another equally hilarious extreme. Hope you had a great summer!!

Garam Masala is an excellent touch. Where was your old camp? Punjab?

Phoebe — I need to make this for my kids’ school lunches — my kids basically live off peanut butter, which is a no-no at school. Looks delish! Also, where did you go camping? We just got back from Lake Placid. It totally took me back to my summer camp days as well. Still dying to get down to the city one of these days. Would love to meet up!

Hi Ali – thanks so much for stopping by! We were upstate about an hour north of Saratoga. I LOVE Lake Placid in the summertime! What a fun excursion. Definitely let me know if you make it into the city anytime soon. Would love to grab a coffee 🙂 xo

What a lovely granola for breakfast. Love the creaminess and the sweet flavour of cashews together with a tangy greek yoghurt.
