Golicous Granola | Serves 4-6

Golicious Granola_July 14.png

This is a recipe from my book, What the Fork Are You Eating. Why “Golicious”? Cause when Jack, my oldest son, was little he couldn’t say “delicious”. I make this about every two weeks and keep back stock in the fridge as my little guy, Hunter, loves to have it in his morning acai bowl (the only breakfast he will really eat!!!).

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup whole raw almonds, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup flax meal
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup brown rice syrup
1 tablespoon coconut oil
salt, pinch

METHOD

  1. Preheat oven to 350°

  2. Chop nuts by hand or pulse in food processor. Place in a bowl with remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly

  3. Cover sheet pan with parchment paper and spread mixture onto baking sheet in one thin layer; bake for 10 minutes then mix on baking sheet and cook for another 10 minutes

  4. Remove from oven and allow granola to cool for 10 minutes before breaking into chunks

  5. Once thoroughly cooled, store in airtight container in cool dry place for up to one week
