Ingredients:
Dry ingredients:
- 2 cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 1/3-1/2 cup coconut sugar (depending on how sweet you like it)
- 6 tablespoons puffed quinoa or amaranth
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1.5 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
Wet ingredients:
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 325F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the dry ingredients.
- In a small pot, heat the coconut oil over low heat until melted. Remove from the burner and stir in the maple syrup and vanilla.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and stir well to combine, until the oats are fully coated in the wet mixture.
- Spread the granola onto the baking sheet in a thin layer. Bake for 15 minutes, remove and stir, and bake for another 8-10 minutes until golden and fragrant. Watch closely during the end of baking to ensure it doesn't burn.
- Cool on the pan for 45 minutes to 1 hour. It will harden up as it cools.
