For all ingredients, please use those that are organic or grown without pesticides. |
|
4 1/2 cups |
gluten-free rolled oats (Bob’s Red Mill) |
1 cup |
raw buckwheat groats (also called kasha when sold toasted) |
1 cup |
quinoa flakes |
1/2 cup |
millet |
1 cup |
sliced almonds, toasted |
1 cup |
raw pepitas |
1 tablespoon |
cinnamon |
1/4-1/2 teaspoon |
sea salt |
1 tablespoon |
vanilla extract |
1/2 cup |
unrefined coconut oil, melted |
1/2 cup |
honey |
1 cup |
dried cranberries (optional) |
1/2 cup |
raisins (optional) |
1/2 cup |
unsweetened shaved coconut, toasted (optional) |
|
Preheat the over to 325 F. |
Lightly toast the almonds. |
In a large bowl, combine the oats, buckwheat groats, quinoa flakes, millet, toasted almonds, and pepitas. Add the cinnamon and salt. |
In a small bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, honey, and vanilla extract. |
Stir the honey mixture into the oat mixture. Use two large spoons to toss the granola until it is well combined. |
Spread the mixture evenly onto 2 baking sheets that have been lightly oiled (oiling the baking sheets is not necessary, but prevents sticking of any kind). |
Bake for 10-15 minutes until the granola is a rich golden brown. |
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. |
Add the dried fruit and coconut if using. |
Store in an airtight container. |
