Recipe By:
Serves: 8 cups
Ingredients
  • 4 cups organic rolled oats
  • 1 cup puffed quinoa, brown rice, millet, or kamut
  • 1 cups nuts, coarsely chopped
  • ½ cup pumpkin or sunflower seeds, optional
  • ½ cup oat flour, wheat bran, or wheat germ
  • ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut, optional
  • ¾ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup coconut sugar, honey, or syrup (see variations)
  • ¼ cup organic virgin coconut oil
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, optional
  • ¾ cup dried fruit, optional
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Place the oats, puffed cereal, nuts, seeds, wheat bran, coconut, salt, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl and stir thoroughly to combine.
  3. Heat the sugar or other sweeteners, coconut oil, and olive oil in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat until warm. Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla extract. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
  4. Spread the granola evenly onto the baking sheet. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until golden. Remove from oven and place on a cake rack. Cool completely before breaking into chunks. Stir in dried fruit. Serve with milk, dairy or otherwise.
Notes
Notes: Recipe may be doubled. Store granola in an airtight container, at room temperature, for up to 3 weeks. Freeze for up to 3 months.

Chunky granola may be baked with dried fruit but keep an eye on any burning.
