Maple Granola



Dry ingredients:
2 1/2 cups of rolled or steel cut oats
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/8 cup flax seed
1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup almonds, chopped up
1/4 cup dried cranberries

Liquid ingredients:
1/2 cup real maple syrup
1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
1/8 cup grapeseed oil or walnut oil

Mix all of the dry ingredients except for the cranberries together in a large bowl.

In a separate bowl, combine and whisk the liquid ingredients. Pour the mixture into the dry ingredients and combine well, using your hands to toss and mix.

Set the oven at 300F, place the granola on tin foil over the baking pan spread around evenly. Bake for 50-60 min until the granola is brown and roasted. Mix in the dried cranberries at the end, they I’ll be too hard if you bake them.

Cool down for 30 min and serve with yogurt, parfait or cereal. Granola is a healthy snack option at the office or on a hike.

Extras can be stored in airtight jars or OXO containers for 2-3 months (if it lasts that long!).
