Homemade Granola

Ingredients:

7 cups of whole oats

1 cup flax seed meal

1 cup almonds

1 cup walnuts

1 cup pumpkin seeds

1/2 cup sesame seeds

1 1/2 cups honey

1/2 cup melted coconut oil

2 cups dried fruit (I used cranberries this time.)

1 tsp cinnamon (optional)

Put almonds, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds in the food processor and pulse until they are chopped to the consistency that you like.  (You can use whatever nuts you like best or whatever you have on hand at the time!) Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl and stir well.

Combine honey and coconut oil in a pan.  Heat on the stove until coconut oil is melted, and it is combined with the honey.  Pour the mixture over the dry ingredients and combine until the mixture is coated.  You may need to use your hands to combine it well.

Spread it evenly in a baking pan.  Bake on 325 for 15 minutes.  Then stir it well on the pan.  Continue to bake for 5 minutes at a time and stir well until granola is dry and slightly toasted.  Be sure to watch it well as it can easily get too brown.  Store in an airtight container.  This recipe will easily freeze for use whenever you are ready!
