go-to granola
- 2 1/2 cups organic oats
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup each raw assorted nuts (I use raw slivered almonds, pecan pieces, and sliced almonds all from Trader Joes
- 1/4 cup each raw pumpkin and sunflower seeds
- 1/2 cup unsweetened large dried coconut flakes
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup assorted dried fruits (I use Trader Joes Golden Berry Blend - golden raisins, cherries, cranberries and blueberries)
- Preheat oven to 325
- Mix oats, nuts, seeds and coconut in large bowl.
- Add maple syrup, olive oil, cinnamon and vanilla and salt.
- Spread mixture on baking sheet and put in oven at 325 for 20 minutes- stir then put back in for another 8-10 minutes- check frequently and take out when coconut begins to toast a light brown color.
- While still hot on baking sheet mix in dried fruits. Cool and enjoy!
