granola -Oatmeal Cookie Quinoa Granola

By tinathorn

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups gluten-free rolled oats
• 1 1/2 cups quinoa flakes
• 1/2 cup coconut sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla powder
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup creamy almond butter
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (I like Enjoy Life because they're dairy-free)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

In a large bowl, stir together the dry ingredients (minus chocolate chips).

Melt the liquid ingredients together and pour over dry. Stir until evenly coated.

Transfer mixture to a baking sheet and bake for 35 - 45 minutes, stirring every 10 - 15 so granola doesn't burn.

When golden brown, remove from oven and let cool completely. Stir in chocolate chips and store in an airtight container for 2 - 3 weeks.
