Granola



Grain Free Granola or with Oats too :)

2 cups almonds, sliced, whole, chopped. whatever you like
1 cup each sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds (raw)
1/2-3/4 cup each unsweetened coconut and raisins
1/2 cup each sesame seeds and ground flax meal
1/4 cup each honey and coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla 

you can add oats, i will add 2 cups or so of oats, if i do, i double the oil and honey. you can add raisins, dried cranberries, any other nuts. I add the dried fruit after the granola comes out of the oven and stir in while it is still hot. you can adjust any of this to the tastes of your family.

Preheat oven to 3o0 degrees. In a large bowl, combine nuts, seeds, flax meal, coconut and raisins. In a small saucepan, combine coconut oil and honey and heat until melted. Add vanilla and coconut oil and honey, and pour over the rest of the ingredients. Mix well. Spread granola onto a large baking sheet and cook for 30 minutes or so, checking every 5-10 minutes and stirring . Let the granola cool. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.

Serve with yoghurt for breakfast or as a snack anytime.
