Granola

 

Heat the oven to 300 F with the rack in the middle.

Place in a large bowl and mix:

• 3 cups rolled oats (not quick oats)
• 1/4 cup almond flour or regular flour
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Place in a pan and warm to melt:

• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/4 cup coconut oil

Put 1/4 cup pure maple syrup or 1 teaspoon vanilla in the honey/oil mixture. 

Then pour over the oats mixture and mix.

Spread the mixture on a rimmed cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake for 15 minutes then stir.  Bake for 5 to 10 more minutes until lightly brown around the edges.

Place on a rack to cool.

Add about 1/2 cup of dried fruit (cranberries, cherries, raisins, dates) and about 1/2 cup of nuts or seeds (I prefer pecans.)   I also add about a 1/2 cup of ribbon coconut.

Stir every 15 minutes as it cools to break up the clumps.

Store in airtight container.

Enjoy!   We like it with Cashew Milk.
