Author Notes
Store bought granola usually contains extra unnecessary sugars, salt, and other additives that our bodies do not need. Homemade granola has a simple formula that makes it so easy to make in a jiffy. The concept of a "Compost Granola" is that you can follow the basic formula but add whatever you have at home and infuse it with your own favourite flavours. —Dee
Ingredients
-
2 cups
whole rolled oats
-
1/2 cup
uncooked quinoa, rinsed and dry
-
1 cup
of your favourite nuts (I used hazlenuts and raw almonds, chopped))
-
1/3 cup
seeds, unsalted (I used sunflower and sesame)
-
1/3 cup
unsweetened coconut flakes
-
1/4 cup
toasted coconut (large) flakes, (optional)
-
1/3 cup
coconut oil, at liquid form (heat if still solid)
-
1/3 cup
local honey
-
1 pinch
cinnamon
-
1 pinch
salt
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 275 F
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients together until well mixed.
-
In a smaller mixing bowl, mix wet ingredients together. (Prior to mixing, make sure honey and oil are in liquid form- if they aren't heat them until liquidized).
-
Combine both mixtures and pour a thin layer onto 2 well lined sheet pans. Cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to achieve an even color.
-
Remove from oven and transfer into a large bowl. When cooled, store in an airtight container.
