Oh yes, this granola tastes as amazing as the name sounds! Hey, who says you can't have treats and be healthy? We enjoyed this as a bedtime snack over a little unsweetened almond milk. Oh baby.
Gluten-Free Maple Glazed Granola
(Please try and use all organic and as local of ingredients as possible for optimal nutrition)
3 cups gluten free oats
1/2 cup chopped nuts and seeds (any you like, I used pecans and sesame seeds)
3/4 cup unsweetened coconut (I used coconut flakes, but shreds would work as well)
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/3 cup pure grade B maple syrup
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp pink Himalayan sea salt
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix oats, nuts and seeds and coconut together. In a separate bowl melt coconut oil until liquified, add syrup, cinnamon, and salt and whisk together until mixed. Add the wet ingredients to the oat mixture and spread onto a large glass baking pan.
Bake for 10 minutes, then flip mixture over as good as you can. Bake another 10 minutes and flip again. Bake for another 5 minutes and take out of oven to let cool. Once cool store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
