Granola



Granola
There are so many combinations of ingredients you can put in your granola! I just usually use up whatever nuts and seeds we have in the fridge/pantry. It makes for a great midnight snack with almond milk, yum!

4 c. old-fashioned rolled oats
2 c. nuts/seeds (Make your own combo: Pepitas (pumpkin seeds), chopped pecans, slivered or sliced almonds, chopped cashews, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, etc)
3/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 c. coconut oil or olive oil
1/2 c. maple syrup or honey
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. coconut flakes

Preheat oven to 350.
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, nuts/seeds, salt, cinnaon, oil, maple syrup/honey and vanilla until all coated evenly.
2. Place contents on a large cooking sheet lined with parchment paper (to make it easy to transfer int a container at the end.)
3. Bake at 350 for 6 minutes. Take out and stir. Bake for another 5 minutes. Stir in coconut flakes. Let sit on stovetop to cool.
