Prep Time
10 Minutes

Total Time
30 Minutes

Servings
8 Cups

Ingredients

  • 3/8 cup - coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tsp. - vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. - cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. - salt
  • 4 cups - oats
  • 1 1/2 cups - almonds, sliced or slivered
  • 1/2 cup - white quinoa (uncooked)
  • 1/2 cup - sprouted pepitas (can use regular, unsalted)
  • 1/2 cup - honey
  • 1/4 cup
  • goji berries (optional)

Steps

  • Mix together honey, coconut oil and vanilla.
  • Melt in microwave in increments of 20 seconds until just melted/combined. Set aside.
  • Mix together oats, almonds, pepitas, quinoa, salt and cinnamon.
  • Pour wet ingredients over, mix until all parts are coated - can use hands.
  • Spread mixture onto a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet.
  • Toast in oven on 325°F, for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown, rotating pan once halfway through.
  • Let cool completely.
  • Break up into bowl and toss in goji berries, if desired.

TIP

For added flavor, toast quinoa before adding to granola: Toast on dry pan over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, until you hear popping/smells like popcorn. Remove immediately from heat and let cool.

1 cup coconut flakes can be added to dry mix before baking for added crunch.

Add in 1/4 cup dried goji berries for an extra superfood boost AFTER granola has baked. After granola has cooled, break into chunks into a bowl and toss together before serving. Do not bake goji berries or they will become hard as rocks!
