Ingredients
  • 3 cups natural flaked coconut raw with no sugar
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1/2 cup black & white sesame seeds
  • 1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
  • 1/8 cup chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup flax seeds
  • 1/4 cup hemp seeds optional
  • 1 1/2 cup skinned raw almonds optional
  • 1/2 cup organic honey
  • 3 tbsp oil melted, coconut, ghee or light olive oil
  • 2 tsp homemade vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp chai spice
  • 1/2 tsp cardomom
  • 1 tsp Himalayan salt optional
Directions
  • Step 1 Heat oven to 300 degrees. Prepare a cookie sheet with baking paper.
  • Step 2 Place the honey, oil, vanilla, spices, and salt in a saucepan. Heat on medium-low while you mix the rest of the ingredients.
  • Step 3 Place all the seeds and nuts, if using, into a large bowl. Mix with a spoon so all the ingredients are well blended.
  • Step 4 Pour the warm honey mixture over the grains and mix well. It will be really sticky!
  • Step 5 Spread the granola on the paper-lined baking sheet.
  • Step 6 Place in the oven for 30 – 45 minutes, stirring halfway along. It’s done when the top is toasty and slightly brown.
  • Step 7 Yes, it will still be sticky and wet. Don’t panic. Take it out and set it on the counter while you make my Granny’s Granola. Check it out.
  • Step 8 Place the dried Grain Free Granola into a storage jar after an hour. It kept for me up to 3 weeks!
