THM-S Satisfying Granola

By Kathy C.

This is my variation of the recipe in Trim Healthy Mama book.

Ingredients

• additional optional seasonings:
• 4 cups pumpkin seeds
• 2 cups Sunflower seeds
• 1/2 cup golden Flax Meal
• 1 cup shredded coconut
• 1-2 T Cinnamon, to taste
• 2-4 Tbsp coconut oil, melted
• 1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 tsp vanilla stevia, or to taste (non-THM can use 2-4 Tbsp Honey or Maple Syrup instead of stevia)
• 1 tsp ginger
• 1/8 tsp nutmeg
• 1/8 tsp cloves
• 1/2 tsp sea salt

Preparation

Step 1

Optional: Soak seeds in filtered water 5-7 hours, then rinse and drain thoroughly.

Mix all ingredients together in bowl. (May want to mix vanilla & stevia into coconut oil, then mix in with remaining ingredients.)

Spread onto parchment-covered baking trays.

Bake at 300 for about an hour, stirring occasionally. (may need 1 1/2 - 2x longer if seeds were soaked)
Or can dehydrate 12-24 hours, until completely dry.
