Granola
I love a good granola, but I like to make it myself to control the sweetness level. I also tend to put in more nuts than what you can buy at the store. I also think it’s cheaper when made at home. This recipe was adapted from Grow, Forage, Cook, Ferment.
INGREDIENTS
3 cups One Degree Oats
½ cup maple syrup or honey
¼ cup coconut oil
½ cup pecans
½ cup walnuts
½ cup sprouted pumpkin seeds
½ cup dried not sweetened cranberries
½ cup non sweetened coconut flakes
1 TBS pumpkin pie spice
½ tsp vanilla
¼ tsp salt
Directions
Preheat the oven: You want the oven on 325 degrees so you don’t burn your granola. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. I like to use non bleached.
Mix liquids together. Put your liquids into a large measuring cup or bowl and mix together. You will have to heat up the coconut oil first and then add other liquids.
Combine nuts, seeds NOT CRANBERRIES: Measure out the rest of the ingredients, all the solids, into a bowl. Cranberries go in after it’s cooked.
Assemble: Pour your liquids over your solids and mix well. It’s best if you do this by hand.
Spread on your baking sheet: Now spread this mixture on the baking sheet as evenly as you can.
Cook: 15-20 minutes and then stop and stir everything around. Stick back in the oven for another 15-20 minutes before taking out for good. Add cranberries.
Cool before putting in glass jar for storage.
