Dry Ingredients:
- 2 ¼ Cups Gluten Free Rolled Oats – (Recommended: Bob’s Red Mill Brand)
- ¾ Cup Organic Pumpkin Seeds (Raw recommended)
- ½ TSP Cinnamon
- ½ TSP Himalayan Sea Salt
- ¼ TSP Ground Ginger
- ¼ TSP All Spice
- Optional Ingredients: ½ Cup shredded unsweetened coconut or other nuts of preference
Wet Ingredients:
- ¼ Cup Organic Maple Syrup – Grade A
- ¼ Cup Organic Sunflower Seed Butter
- 1 Cup Dried Fruit (I did 8 Pitted Medjool Dates) – Diced
- ½ TSP Pure Vanilla Extract
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 325 Degrees. Cover baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Mix all DRY ingredients in large bowl – use silicone baking spatula.
- Mix all WET ingredients in separate bowl until completely blended – be sure to break apart fruit so doesn’t lump together.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Mix until all ingredients completely covered.
- Pour ingredients onto baking sheet and spread out evenly.
- Bake 10 minutes – then mix. Back in oven another 10 minutes – mix again.
- Bake another 10 – 12 minutes – keep an eye on the granola ensuring it does not burn.
- Remove from oven to cool. DON’T MOVE THE GRANOLA for at least 20 minutes. This way it gets that delightful crunch.
- Once completely cooled, store in airtight container.
