Homemade Granola
Halfway through a batch! Enjoyed on yogurt most of the time but sometimes straight out of the tin when craving a crunch.
Preheat oven to 225F (we have an electric oven with no convection feature- I find anything warmer and my granola burns on the bottom).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix ingredients in a large bowl:
3 heaping cups oats
1/3 heaping cup coconut oil melted
3/4 cup of each (or other additions) hemp hearts and sunflower seeds and cashews (chopped)
3 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cloves
1/3 cup maple syrup
Pinch of salt
Pour mixture onto lined baking sheet and push it with a spatula to flatten and spread out.
Bake for 23 minutes at 225F then turn the oven to broil for 4 minutes. Watch closely!!!
No forking* I like to leave my granola alone until it is cooled. Then I break it in pieces of my preferred size. Store in a parchment lined tin to preserve the crunch.
