Quinoa Crunch Granola
This recipe is adapted from the Dude Diet cookbook.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 3/4 cup chopped pecans
- 3/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1/3 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed and drained I have substituted with chia before.
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp fine grain sea salt
- 1/3 cup liquid extra virgin coconut oil I used avocado oil.
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, combine the oats, nuts, quinoa, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut oil and maple syrup. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
- Spread the oat mixture on the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. Use the bottom of a glass to gently press the mixture to pack it down.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes. Cool for 30 minutes before breaking into pieces. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
- Serve with plain Greek yogurt or milk if desired.
