Quinoa Granola

Quinoa granola.  I’m not sure why I have never tried this before.  It’s crunchy, chock full of healthy fats, complex carbs and a bit of protein.  It’s really easy to make, and super tasty. 

Serve it with 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or Kefir (at least 2% fat) and 1 cup fruit for a complete meal.

Ingredients
  1. 1 cup quinoa (uncooked)
  2. 1/2 cup each: chopped cashews, almonds, pumpkin seeds, unsweetened coconut flakes
  3. 1 tbsp. cinnamon
  4. 1/2 tsp. salt
  5. 1/4 cup coconut oil
  6. 1/4 cup honey
  7. 1/2 cup dried fruit
Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 350F. Mix quinoa, nuts, other ‘add-ins’, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl. Heat coconut oil and honey together until it’s more ‘liquidy’. Pour into the bowl and mix well. Spread over a baking sheet. Bake at 350 for about 25-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Granola should be a golden brown when it’s done. Stir in dried fruit when it's done. Let it cool and store in an airtight container.
Notes
  1. Be creative with the 'add ins'. Other ideas: hemp hearts, sunflower seeds...
