Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup quinoa

  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup nuts (I used mix of walnuts and cashews)
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 4 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries (optional)

Method

  1. Pre-heat oven to 325 F degrees. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a pan whisk together honey and coconut oil. Put the pan on medium heat, till the mixture warms a bit and combines together.
  3. In a bowl toss together oats, quinoa, sea salt, nuts, pumpkin seeds and cinnamon powder.
  4. Pour the honey mixture over the oats-quinoa mixture. Mix till all mixture is moistened.
  5. Spread on a baking sheet evenly. Bake at 325 F degrees for 35 minutes. You can stir slightly once in between, I did not.
  6. Remove from oven. Let cool completely, break into clusters and stir in the cranberries (if using).
  7. Store the quinoa honey nut granola in an airtight container.
