Calories: 183kcal
Ingredients
- 3 cups old fashioned oats gluten-free
- 1 cup gluten-free corn flakes ~ I like Nature's Path Fruit Juice Corn Flakes because they are nice BIG flakes.
- 1 cup walnuts chopped or other nuts of your choice.
- 1 cup pumpkin seeds use all seeds for nut-free granola.
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup coconut oil reduce to 3 Tbsp for less fat.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup honey or agave syrup (maple syrup or agave for plant-based)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup dried blueberries or more ~ add the last 10 minutes of baking.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner. I use baking sheets with edges to prevent spilling.
- In a large mixing bowl add oats, corn flakes, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, cinnamon, and salt.
- Stir the mixture well.
- In a small saucepan add coconut oil, pure maple syrup, and brown sugar. Heat to warm while stirring. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Pour syrup mixture over cereal and mix well. It's important that all of the cereal is mixed really well with the syrup mixture. Dump it right onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Gently press down and bake for 20-25 minutes. Add dried blueberries the last 10 minutes of baking.
- I gently turn over the granola while it is baking twice. Use a turner and work your way a crossed the pan in small sections. Once it's done remove from oven and let sit to cool to room temperature.
- Store in an airtight container.
Notes
Use any other dried fruit, cherries & cranberries are another favorite of mine.
