When I was on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet I couldn't have grains of any kind.  I really missed granola and couldn't find any grain-free varieties in stores, so I made my own.  The little bit of butter gives the granola a caramel flavor and makes it taste like you are eating dessert.

In a medium bowl combine walnuts, almonds and coconut.
In a saucepan over medium heat combine honey and butter.
