Granola ....

I love to eat granola as a snack

but I don't eat processed food and grains anymore so

I needed to find a recipe that was grain free

This one fit the bill.......and it's so good

• 1 1/2 cup sliced almonds
• 1 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• 1 cup walnuts, finely chopped
• 1 cup macadamia nuts, finely chopped ( with macadamia nuts at $7.99 a lb. I chose to use raw cashews instead)
• 1 cup dried cranberries
• 1/2 cup fresh dates, diced ( I did not use these simply because I didn't have any. When I make this again, I'm going to use raisins instead)
• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 1/3 cup honey
• 2 teaspoon cinnamon

Combine almonds, coconut flakes, nuts and fruit in a bowl.

Whisk together oil, honey and cinnamon

Pour oil-honey mixture over nuts and fruit, and mix

Spread onto a single layer on lightly oiled baking sheet

Bake for one hour at 275 degrees, stirring every 15 minutes to prevent burning.

Another thing I will do different is not add the cranberries until halfway through the cooking. Because they got a little too hard, almost burnt.

And I totally forgot to take a picture so a post without a picture...tsk tsk!!

later.......
