Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats (gluten-free)
- 0.5 cup quinoa
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup chia seeds
- 0.5 cup sliced almonds
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries or raisins
- 0.5 cup honey or maple syrup
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, quinoa, almond flour, chia seeds, sliced almonds, pumpkin seeds, and shredded coconut. Stir until well mixed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey or maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until the coconut oil is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Pour the honey mixture over the dry ingredients and add the cinnamon and salt. Stir until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, or until the granola is golden brown.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely. It will become crunchier as it cools.
Once cooled, mix in the dried cranberries or raisins.
Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. It can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
