Homemade Refined Sugar Free Granola
INGREDIENTS
4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (use certified gluten-free oats for gluten-free granola)
1 ½ cup raw nuts and/or seeds (I used 1 cup pecans and ½ cup almonds)
1 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (I LOVE cinnamon so I actually added 2 tbsp)
½ cup melted coconut oil
½ cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
⅔ cup dried fruit (I used dried cranberries)
Totally optional additional mix-ins: ½ desiccated coconut
METHOD
Preheat oven to 180 degrees and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, nuts and/or seeds, salt and cinnamon. Stir to blend.
Pour in the oil, maple syrup and and vanilla. Mix well, until every oat and nut is lightly coated. Pour the granola onto your prepared pan and use a large spoon to spread it in an even layer.
Bake until lightly golden, about 21 to 24 minutes, stirring halfway (for extra-clumpy granola, press the stirred granola down with your spatula to create a more even layer). The granola will further crisp up as it cools.
Let the granola cool completely, Top with the dried fruit and coconut.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 to 2 weeks, or in a sealed freezer bag in the freezer for up to 3 months.
I love serving my granola with kefir or coconut yogurt and almond butter!
