About the Recipe
Homemade granola can be easy. This granola is made with gluten free rolled oats and lots of nuts and seeds. You can control the amount of added sugar. Serve 1/4 cup with plain Greek yogurt for a high protein, high fiber meal or snack.
Ingredients
2 cups of roughly chopped raw pecans
1/4 cup and 1/3 cup maple syrup
4 cups certified gluten free old fashioned rolled oats
1 cup raw pumpkin seeds/pepitas
1 cup raw sunflower seeds
1 cup raw pistachios
1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1 cup sliced almonds,
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp flaky sea salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 cup unrefined melted coconut oil
Preparation
1. Heat the oven to 375 degrees, and line a 12”x17” rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Toss pecans with 1/4 cup maple syrup in a small mixing bowl and set it aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, combine remaining ingredients with 1/3 cup maple syrup.
4. Spread the oat mixture onto the baking sheet and bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden. Remove the pan from the oven and carefully use a fork to mix the edges in toward the center and the center out toward the edges. Return the pan to oven and bake for 7 to 10 more minutes or until edges are golden, and mix again.
5. Sprinkle the maple-coated pecans over the top of the granola and bake for a final 7 to 10 minutes, or until the granola is evenly golden. Remove pan from the oven and let it cool completely.
6. Store the granola in an airtight glass container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
