Ingredients

1 cup Bob's Red Mill Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats
1/2 cup uncooked Bob's Red Mill White Quinoa
2 cups raw almonds ((roughly chopped))
1 Tbsp coconut sugar ((or sub organic brown sugar, muscovado, or organic cane sugar))
1 pinch sea salt
3 1/2 Tbsp coconut oil
1/4 cup maple syrup ((or agave nectar))

Steps:

Preheat oven to 340 degrees F (171 C).
Add oats, quinoa, almonds, coconut sugar, and salt to a large mixing bowl - stir to combine.
To a small saucepan, add coconut oil and maple syrup. Warm over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, whisking frequently until the two are totally combined and there is no visible separation.
Immediately pour over the dry ingredients and stir to combine until all oats and nuts are thoroughly coated. Arrange on a large baking sheet and spread into an even layer.
Bake for 20 minutes. Then remove from oven and stir/toss the granola. Turn the pan around so the other end goes into the oven first (so it bakes evenly) and bake 5-10 minutes more. Watch carefully as to not burn. You'll know it's done when the granola is deep golden brown and very fragrant.
Let cool completely before enjoying. Store leftovers in a sealed bag or container at room temperature for 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

3/4 cup honey
1/2 cup solid coconut oil
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch salt (optional, and only recommended if the nuts you're adding are unsalted)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 cups rolled oats (not the quick-cooking kind)
1/2 cup raw quinoa (rinsed well in cold water)
2 cups roughly chopped raw almonds
1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 egg white (beaten)
1-2 cups dried fruits such as chopped dried cherries (raisins, or dried blueberries (optional))

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
To a small pan over low heat, add the honey, coconut oil, cinnamon, and salt (if using). Heat, stirring occasionally, until melted and thoroughly combined. Remove from heat. Stir in the vanilla. Set aside.
In a large bowl, stir together the oats, quinoa, almonds, and coconut.
Pour the wet ingredients over the oat mixture and stir until well-combined. In a small bowl, beat the egg white until frothy. Add to the granola and stir until very well combined.
Pour the granola into the baking sheet and bake until golden brown and fragrant, 35-45 minutes, opening the oven to stir the granola about 20 minutes into the cooking process.
Remove from oven and let cool completely. Break into bite-size chunks. Mix in dried fruit, if using.
Stores well in an airtight container at room temperature for several days.
