Preparation

Step 1

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine oats, quinoa, flaxseed, chia seeds, almonds, coconut and salt. Stir well to combine.

In a small sauce pan, melt coconut butter. Add maple and vanilla. Stir well to combine.

Pour maple mixture evenly over oats mixture. Toss well to ensure all is coated well.

Spread baking sheet in one layer. Spread around to ensure it is all evenly spread out. Bake for 10 minutes, toss and then bake for 10 minutes more. Toss again, then bake for 10 more minutes. Toss again, and repeat until it is golden brown. When tossing granola, try not to break apart the clumps that have formed. Will take about 30-40 minutes to reach golden brown.

Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Once it is cool enough to handle, clump together the granola. Let cool completely then add cranberries and white chocolate chips. Store in airtight container in pantry.
