- 5 cups certified gluten-free purity protocol oats
- ½ cup flax seed meal
- 1 cup walnut or pecan halves
- 1 cup pumpkin seeds pepitas
- 2/3 cup grated coconut unsweetened or sweetened
- ½ cup sunflower seeds
- ½ pine nuts
- 1/3 cup cashew halves
- 1 Tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup raisins or dried cranberries
- 2/3 cup gluten free sourdough starter discard fed or unfed -- or nut butter
- ¾ cup crunchy peanut butter or other nut or no-nut butter -- sugar-free is fine
- ½ cup honey or maple syrup, coconut nectar, date syrup or other liquid sweetener -- add more if you prefer sweeter granola
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a very large bowl, mix together the oats, flax seed meal, nuts, seeds, coconut, raisins, cinnamon and salt, then stir well.
In a separate bowl, measure out the nut butter and microwave for 30-40 seconds to soften the peanut butter until very easy to stir (alternatively, stir over low heat in a sauce pan). Add honey and gluten free sourdough starter, then mix into the large bowl with dry ingredients, stirring to combine well with a large spoon or spatula.
Spread the mixture out onto one large or two smaller parchment-lined baking sheets.
Bake at 350° for 20 minutes, then stir. Bake for at least 20 minutes more, stirring again to ensure the mix doesn't burn. It should start getting dry and crispy but not dark brown.
Remove to allow the granola cool completely before eating; package in airtight containers or freeze smaller portions for future snacks or bake into Gluten Free Granola Cookies.
