Katie's Easy Granola

Ingredients

2c old-fashioned/rolled oats

4c nuts of your choice (pecans, almonds, walnuts, pistachios, cashews, macadamia, brazil etc) chopped

1c seeds of your choice (pumpkin, sunflower, etc)

1/3 c - 1/2 c honey, raw if available

1/4c chia seeds

1/4c flax seeds

1/4c uncooked quinoa (trust me!)

1/2c unsweetened raw coconut (optional)

1/3 c expeller-pressed canola oil or organic coconut oil (melted)

2 Tbsp black strap molasses (optional)

2 tsp vanilla

½ tsp cinnamon

¼-½ tsp kosher salt

Directions

Mix together and bake on two cookie sheets (lined with parchment = easy clean up!) for 28 minutes at 275-300 degrees. Molasses helps the granola stay sticky in chunks. I also don’t recommend stirring granola while baking if you like chunks. Store in glass container when cool. 

Can add 1/2c raisins or other dried fruit, if desired, before storing.

Enjoy!
