Description
We make this cinnamon granola with rolled oats, quinoa, and chia seeds, and sweeten it with coconut sugar and maple syrup. It's super easy, healthy-ish, and tastes better than store-bought granola.
Ingredients
Scale
1/2 cup avocado oil or melted coconut oil
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cups rolled oats (old fashioned oats)
1/4 cup quinoa
1/4 cup chia seeds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add oil, sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. In a separate large mixing bowl, combine salt, oats, quinoa, and chia seeds.
- Slowly add the oat mixture to the wet mixture, stirring as you go. Mix until everything is combined and all of the oats are equally coated in the wet mixture.
- Dump the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out until it covers most of the baking sheet. Pat it all together so it's one big rectangle without any gaps (this will ensure that the granola clumps).
- Bake for 20 minutes, stirring halfway. After stirring, make sure you pat it together again.
- Allow your granola to cool completely before breaking it into pieces. Store in an air-tight container for up to a month.
Notes
- Optionally, add raisins, nuts, dried cranberries, or coconut after your granola is done cooking.
- Use gluten-free oats for gluten-free granola.
