Yummy Granola














Ingredients
3 cups rolled oats
1 cup pumpkin seeds
1 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup unsalted cashews
1 cup coconut flakes
3 Tbs brown rice syrup
3 Tbs maple syrup
1/3 cup coconut oil
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cardamon
1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1 tsp sea salt

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
2. Melt coconut oil, brown rice syrup, and maple syrup together in a saucepan on low heat
3. Stir in spices and sea salt
4. Layer oats, seeds, cashews, and coconut flakes on 2 baking sheets and coat evenly with melted syrups
5. Bake for 15 mins, stirring halfway

This granola is amazing! It has such great flavor and it is not too sweet. I prefer to eat this as cereal and pour vanilla coconut milk over the top. Great for a snack! I have made this recipe a few different ways depending on what I have on hand. Last time I added dried cranberries, which I loved, almonds, walnuts, and sesame seeds. It's tasty way to get a ton of nutrients! Feel free to be creative with different nuts or dried fruits.
