Ingredients

    3 cups gluten free rolled oats
    1 cup chopped Walnuts
    1 cup Pumpkin Seeds (whole seeds, roasted)
    1 cup Hulled Hemp Seed
    1 cup chia seeds
    1/4 cup molasses
    5 dates, chopped
    1 cup coconut flakes, unsweetened
    10 tbsp coconut oil, unrefined
    2 oz sunflower seeds, unsalted
    1 cup flax seed meal

Tips

This gluten free granola with no refined sugar is crunchy and satisfying. I put it on a breakfast of kefir and yogurt with fruit and chopped ginger.


Directions

Combine all seeds, coconut flakes, oats and walnuts in large bowl.
Melt coconut oil, add chopped dates and allow to soften in the warm oil for 5 - 10 minutes. Preheat oven to 300F.
Stir molasses into oil and dates.
Stir oil mixture into seed-oat mixture.
Spread on baking pan with high sides lined with parchment paper - a roasting pan works well.
Bake at 300F for one hour, turn the oven off and allow to sit in the oven as it cools off. Total time in the oven is approximately 1 hour 15 minutes. Allow to cool completely before storing at room temperature. Enjoy!
OPTIONAL ADD-INS (before baking): shredded apple with peel, chopped orange peel, turmeric, ginger, frozen cranberries

Serving Size: Makes 20 approx 1/3 cup servings
