Granola - Gluten Free and Nut Free
Granola tends to be a higher calorie cereal and yogurt topping, but sometimes you want that toasty, nutty-flavored goodness. So, here is my decadent granola recipe that is sure to be a stable in your pantry. It’s perfect to have on hand when you are expecting out of town guests and it’s also a great gift for the holidays.
Ingredients, Servings: 6 Cups
2 ½ cups of oats
1 cup of unsweetened dried coconut
¾ cup of ground flax seed
½ cup chia seeds
½ cup sesame seeds
2 tablespoons tahini
⅓ cup agave syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Pinch of ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoon ground ginger
⅓ cup coconut oil
1 cup of dried cranberries
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix all ingredients together except the cranberries in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly and then spread onto a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown, turning granola every 5 minutes. Once done, remove from oven and let cool completely. Toss in cranberries and store in an air tight container.
