Several people have asked for my granola recipe and I usually say, ” Start with this base but then double it, add this this and that, exchange this…” So instead of going through all of that I actually wrote it all down as I was cooking. (Aren’t you proud of me, Connor?)
This makes at least 18 cups, which is a lot of granola, so halve it if you need.
Preheat oven to 300*
In a large bowl mix these ingredients –
8c old fashioned oatmeal
2c in total of a mix of almonds, pecans, walnuts etc
1c organic coconut
1c in total of sprouted pumpkin seeds and sprouted sunflower seeds
1TBSP of chia seeds
1TBSP of ground flax seeds
1tsp of salt
1tsp of cinnamon
1 tsp of allspice
In a smaller bowl mix these ingredients –
3/4 cup of melted coconut oil
1 1/4 c of organic maple syrup
2 egg whites
1TBSP of vanilla
Pour wet ingredients over dry until everything is covered and there are no dry spots. Place on two foiled lined cookie sheets and put in oven. Cook for 45 – 60 min stirring every 15 min until granola is golden brown. Once golden brown, take out of oven and allow it to cool, and continue to get crispy. Place in airtight containers.
I like to eat this over Greek yogurt and berries every morning, some like it as cereal and my family uses it as snacks.
