Ingredients
  

  • 5 cups certified gluten-free oats
  • ¾ cup flax seeds
  • 2 cups coarsely chopped almonds cashews or other nuts
  • 1 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ginger
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 ½ cups dried cranberries
  • 1 cup golden raisins
  • ¾ cup crunchy peanut butter
  • ¾ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup agave nectar
  • ¼ cup honey

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 275°F.
  • Mix together the oats, flax seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, cinnamon, ginger, and salt in a large bowl and stir well. Add dried cranberries and raisins, if using.
  • Combine peanut butter, maple syrup, agave and honey in a two-cup microwave-safe measuring cup and microwave for 30-40 seconds – just long enough to soften the peanut butter. Stir together and then drizzle evenly over the surface of the oats mixture. Mix all ingredients together thoroughly.
  • Spread mixture out evenly onto a roasting pan with sides. I prefer to line the pan with parchment to prevent burning and for easier clean up.
  • Bake at 275℉ for about 40 minutes, stirring the mixture well every 10 minutes. Let the granola cool completely before eating; package in airtight containers or freeze smaller portions for future snacks.

Notes

*Other alternate ingredients: Sesame seeds Dried apricots, cherries, apples Flaked coconut
** NOTE That the nutritional table reflects a full 1 cup serving and includes ALL the ingredient options. Feel free to subtract any ingredient or reduce the amount called for. As an example, don't add cranberries, or only use 1/2 cup raisins.
