Gluten Free Granola

INGREDIENTS

2 cups certified GF oats

¼ cup flax seeds

¼ cup sunflower seeds

¼ cup pumpkin seeds

1/8 cup walnut crumbs

¼ cup raisins

¼ cup chopped almonds

¼ cup dates, chopped fine

1/8 cup dried cranberries

½ cup crunchy peanut butter

½ cup honey

5 tbs coconut oil

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 300ºF

Line a large shallow pan with waxed paper or parchment paper.

In a large bowl, mix together the first 9 ingredients.

In a small saucepan, melt the remaining 3 ingredients stirring constantly until mixed.

Mix the melted ingredients into the dry ingredients making sure they are well blended.

Press into prepared pan.

Bake for about 30 minutes.

Do not over-cook.  The granola will “crisp” up as it cools.

When completely cooled, crumble the granola into a container with a tight fitting lid.

Store in a cool, dry place.

This makes a great breakfast cereal or a light snack for your purse or lunch box.
