Fruits and Nuts Granola (GF)



Ingredients

2 cups gluten free oats
1/2-3/4 cups chopped nuts/seeds*
1/4 cup juice (we like apple or pomegranate)
1/8-1/4 cup pure Grade B maple syrup (to taste)
2T melted coconut oil
1.5t cinnamon
1/2 cup dried fruit, chopped*

* We use what we have leftover/on-hand for nuts, seeds, fruit, juice, oil, spices, etc. Play with it!


  • Nuts and seeds we like to include: flax seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, pecans, slivered almonds, walnuts, and cashews. Note: we tend to avoid chia seeds because they seem to easily get stuck in the teeth when eating this granola. 
  • Dried fruits we like to include: apples, cranberries, raisins, currants, goji berries, acai berries, and blueberries.


Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Spray a parchment lined baking sheet with coconut oil. 
  • In an large bowl, mix all ingredients. **
  • Spread mixture on greased cookie sheet.
  • Bake 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.


** For softer fruit, leave out and add after granola has cooled.
