Serves: 6
Ingredients
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ cup spelt flakes
  • ½ cup sesame seeds
  • ½ cup almond slivers
  • ½ cup shelled pumpkin seeds
  • ⅓ cup dried cherries
  • ⅓ cup chopped dried apricots
  • ½ cup unsweetened flaked coconut
  • ½ cup flour
  • ½ cup dry milk powder
  • 2 tbsp flax meal
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 4 tbsp melted butter
  • 2 tbsp raw organic coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • ⅔ cup honey
  • pinch of sea salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 275F.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together all of the ingredients until thoroughly combined.
  3. Turn out onto a large foil-lined baking sheet, flattening the mixture into a mound in the centre of the pan. Place on the top rack of preheated oven, and bake for 20 minutes.
  4. Remove from the oven. Using a wooden spoon, gently break up the granola into large clumps, spreading out evenly over the full surface of the pan. Return to the oven for another 15-20 minutes or until lightly toasted, stirring the granola halfway through to ensure it browns evenly.
  5. Allow the granola to cool completely in the pan before scooping into large mason jars for storage (assuming you don't snarf down the whole batch as soon as it cools, that is).
