Prep time:30 minutes

Ingredients:

• 

  3 cup Quaker Rolled Oats

• 

  1 cup Any combination of your favorite nuts (we love pecans and almonds)

• 

  1/2 cup Shredded Unsweetend Coconut

• 

  1 1/2 tablespoons Cinnamon

• 

  1 teaspoon Freshly Grated Nutmeg

• 

  1 teaspoon kosher salt

• 

  3/4 cup Local Maple Syrup

• 

  1/2 cup Local Honey

• 

  1/2 cup Quinoa (save time and buy prewashed)

• 

  1/2 cup Golden Raisins

• 

  1 cup Your favorite dried fruit(s)

• 

  2 tablespoons Unsalted butter

• 

  1 tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract

Step 1:

Preheat oven to 350F. In a large bowl mix together oats, coconut, nuts, quinoa, and spices

Step 2:

Combine syrup, honey, vanilla and butter in a microwave safe bowl and heat until butter is melted. NOTE: You can vary the ratio of honey and syrup you use based on taste preference. Just be sure you have 1.5 cups of sweetener.

Step 3:

Stir together the warmed syrup mixture and add to the oat & nut mixture. Stir until well coated.

Step 4:

Spread mixture on a rimmed baking sheet covered with a silpat. If you don't have a silpat coat the baking sheet with cooking spray. Set oven timer to 7 minutes. Every 7 minutes for appoximately 30 minutes remove the pan and stir. We want the mixutre to be evenly cooked to a dark golden brown.

Step 5:

Once cooled combine the dried fruit to the oats. The granola can be kept refridgerated in an air tight container for up to 3 weeks. Enjoy with milk, soy milk, or plain yogurt.
