Granola

This Granola recipe is packed with protein and fiber. It is delicious!

4 Cups - Old Fashioned Oats
1 Cup - Quinoa, rinsed
1 Cup - Sliced Almonds
1 Cup - Organic Coconut Flakes
4 Tbsp - Flax Seeds
6 Tbsp - Chia Seeds 
4 Tbsp - Cinnamon (add more if needed)
Dash of Salt
1/2 Cup - Honey 
2 Tbsp - Coconut Oil, Melted
1 Cup - Raisins

Preheat oven to 325 degrees then line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 

Combine all ingredients except raisins in a large bowl, then stir to combine. Spread mixture on prepared baking sheet then bake for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through, or until golden brown. TIP: watch closely at the end to make sure granola does not get too dark. Granola will not be crunchy right out of the oven.  Stir in raisins when granola is cool then store in an airtight container.
