Vanilla Granola with Quinoa and Chia Seeds

Vanilla Granola with Quinoa and Chia Seeds

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cups steel-cut oats
  • 1/3 cups quinoa (uncooked)
  • 1/8 cups chia seeds
  • 1/2 cups walnuts (roughly chopped)
  • 1/8 cups peanuts (unsalted)
  • 1/4 cups coconut (flaked, unsweetened)
  • 1/4 cups dried cranberries
  • dash salt
  • 1/8 cups vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cups maple syrup
  • 1/4 cups avocado oil
  • 1/8 cups dark brown sugar (optional)

Directions

In a large bowl, mix together oats, quinoa, chia seeds, nuts, coconut, cranberries and salt until evenly distributed. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until all dry ingredients are well coated.

Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Spread the mixture evenly over the pan, pressing down slightly. Bake at 300 for 40-60 minutes or until golden, stirring occasionally to allow for even toasting. Allow to cool completely, then break up any large chunks (to your preference) and transfer to an airtight container.
