Oats themselves are gluten free and are considered safe for most people with a gluten intolerance. However, oats can easily be contaminated with wheat, either during harvest, storage, or at other stages of processing. If you have a true gluten allergy, look for oats that are certified gluten-free.

2 tbsp. coconut sugar
1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
