SERVINGS: 30
PREP TIME: 30 minutes
COOK TIME: 30 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 1 hour
Ingredients
3 cups rolled oats
2 cups sunflower seeds
1 cup pumpkin seeds
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 cup crushed or sliced almonds
½ cup flax
1/3 cup chia seeds
2/3 cup sesame seeds
2 tbsp Farafena Baobab Fruit Powder
¼ cup coconut oil
½ – 1 cup honey or maple syrup (depending on how sweet you like it)
9 medjool dates – cut into small pieces
½ cup golden berries
½ cup raisins
Instructions
Preheat oven to 300º F. Prepare three large baking sheets by lining with parchment paper.
In a large bowl mix together oats, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, coconut, almonds, flax seeds, chia seeds, sesame seeds and Baobab Powder.
In a small saucepan or in the microwave, melt coconut oil and honey. Stir until combined. (To make it mix well, after heated, add to a blender and blend for a couple seconds)
Pour honey mixture over oat mixture and mix until everything is coated.
Spread granola thinly on baking sheets.
Bake one tray at a time for 20 minutes or until everything is toasted.
Let cool for 10 minutes.
Add everything back into a large bowl and add dates, golden berries and raisins. The granola should still be a little warm which will melt some of the natural sugars of the dried fruit.
Enjoy on top of yogurt, ice cream, in an açaí bowl or simply with milk.
