Ingredients
1 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup raw Brazil nuts, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup raw shelled sunflower seeds
1/2 cup raw whole almonds, coarsely chopped
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp fine sea salt
2 tbs melted unrefined coconut oil
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup brown rice syrup
2 tbs water
1 tbs vanilla extract
1/4 cup dried apricots, diced
1/4 cup dried goji berries
1/4 cup dried Hunza mulberries
1/4 cup golden raisins
Directions
- Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 300F.
- Line a large, heavy baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the oats, Brazil nuts, sunflower seeds, almonds, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl.
- Heat the coconut oil in a small, heavy saucepan over low heat.
- Add the maple syrup, rice syrup, water, and vanilla, and whisk just until blended and heated through.
- Drizzle the syrup mixture over the oat mixture, and stir with a whisk to coat.
- Spoon the granola mixture evenly over the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the granola for about 40 minutes, or until it is golden brown and clusters form.
- As the granola bakes, gently stir it about every 15 minutes with a fork to ensure it cooks evenly but being careful not to break up the clusters.
- Add the dried apricots, goji berries, mulberries, and raisins and continue baking for 10 minutes longer.
- Set the granola aside to cool (it will become crunchy when cool).
