Granola
Hello friends!
It’s been a while and I’ve missed creating new recipes for you! If I’m being honest this quarantine life kind of takes away my creativity to some extent, but this week I pushed through and made myself get back in the kitchen! First on my list was a simple granola you could all enjoy in the comfort of your own homes!
Why granola? Because “good” store-bought granola is still LOADED with sugar and it’s also like $12 for a very small bag which I find ridiculous.
So, all of that to say I hope you find this helpful! I love making this and enjoying with homemade almond milk or on top of smoothie bowls!
Granola
yields about 6 cups of granola
Ingredients
1 cup coconut flakes
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1 cup crushed walnuts
1 cup rolled oats (I use certified gluten free)
1/8 cup maple or honey (optional - you could do more or less depending on desired sweetness)
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
Directions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit.
Toss all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Spread your granola out evenly on the lined baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes or until toasted.
Let cool on the tray and then transfer to an airtight container of choice.
Store for up to 6 weeks and enjoy with almond milk, on smoothie bowls, or as a snack!
Enjoy!

I made this recipe back in January after completing my 21-day Community Cleanse Program. It was the perfect “treat” after sticking to the program for 21-days. However, I’m pretty sure you and your families will enjoy this one any time of year!
