Easy Granola
4 cups oats
1 cup pepitas (shelled pumpkin seeds)
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts
3 cups dried cranberries
1 cup ground golden flax seed
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/3 cup agave nectar
1/4 cup honey
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
In a large mixing bowl combine dry ingredients. Slowly stir in agave nectar and honey coating evenly. Next stir in coconut oil again making sure granola is coated evenly. Bake for roughly 45 minutes or until golden brown, stirring every 15 minutes.
*Most of the above measurements are approximates.
*This makes enough for a family of four to enjoy during 2 days of packing and a cross country car trip.
The key to making good granola is making sure to use enough sweetener/oil to moisten and not over cooking! I made this batch with ingredients I just happen to have on hand. My family loves it! They eat it dry or with milk (it is really good with almond milk). I kept my portion raw as I used all raw ingredients and just kept a portion unbaked.
