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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Pour the honey mixture over the dry ingredients and add the cinnamon and salt. Stir until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, or until the granola is golden brown.

Step 7

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely. It will become crunchier as it cools.

Step 8

Once cooled, mix in the dried cranberries or raisins.

Step 9

Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. It can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
