ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa, (rinse the quinoa in cold water and let it dry for 7-10 minutes)
- 1 cup rolled oats, use gf oats for a gluten free option
- 1/3 cup chia seed
- 1/2 cup pumpkin seed
- 1/2 cup hazelnut
- 1/2 cup almonds, (roughly chopped)
- 1/2 coconut chips
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar, optional
- Pinch of salt to taste
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F
Step 2
Cut all nuts roughly or leave them whole. Leave a handful of nuts & seeds for later
Step 3
Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix until everything is well combined
Step 4
Smear the granola on a sheet with parchment paper. Let it bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Check the granola every ten minutes to avoid burnt granola parts (I've made that mistake,lol)
Step 5
After 30 minutes, lower the heat to 212°F (100°C) and let the granola sit for another 45-60 minutes, depending on your oven
Step 6
Let the granola cool completely. Break the bigger granola parts apart with your hands,add the leftover nuts and eat it right away. But, If I was you I would serve it with some whipped greek yogurt, banana,maple syrup,almond butter and strawberry or whatever fruit you have in your fridge. Enjoy ma friend!
