I was happy because my version is not only cheaper than the store bought GF versions, it is also much healthier. Win! Win!
Gluten Free Granola
4 cups GF Oats
1/4 cup chia seeds
1/3 cup dry quinoa
2 heaping cups roughly chopped nuts (I used pecans and almonds)
1/2 tsp salt
1 heaping TBSP cinnamon
3/4 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup coconut sugar (You may want more or less syrup or sugar depending on how sweet you like your granola.)
Preheat oven to 325.
Combine the first 6 ingredients.
In a saucepan over low to medium heat, melt the coconut oil, syrup and sugar together.
Bake at 325, for about 40-45 minutes, stirring and turning it after 20 minutes.
Let it cool completely. Because this recipe has a bit more liquid than some recipes, the granola clumps together well and can even be broken into granola bars. Store in an airtight container.
Looks good! I enjoy making GF granola, too, but haven't added quinoa yet...thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know it was possible to eat uncooked quinoa. This is a gamechanger for me! And this recipe looks really tasty. I love homemade granola. It has so much more flavor than storebought stuff.
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love that bowl!
