Judy’s GF Grain Free Peanut Free Granola

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flake
• 2 cups slivered hazelnut pieces
• 1 1/4 cup raw pecan pieces
• 1 cup raw walnuts pieces
• 3 Tbsp chia seeds
• 2 Tbsp turbinado sugar
• 1-2 tsp Himalayan salt
• 3 Tbsp olive oil
• 1/3 scant cup honey
• 1/4 cup dried apricots
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries 
• 1/4 cup roasted unsalted pumpkin seeds

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 225 and position a rack in the center of the oven.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut, nuts, chia seeds, turbinado sugar, and salt.
• In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the coconut oil and honey and pour over the dry ingredients and mix well.
• Spread the mixture evenly onto a large baking sheet (may require two depending on size) and bake for 20 minutes. Stir at least once. 
• Then remove from the oven. Add dried fruits, pumpkin seeds and stir.
• Let the mix cool completely.
• Once cool add chocolate chips or candies for a trail mix feel. ** if you add the chocolate chips when it’s still a little warm, they will soften. Let it cool and then break it apart. YUM!!
• Store in a container with an air-tight seal, It stores great in a ziplock in the refrigerator. 
• Freezes well too.
