Ingredients
- ¼ cup + 2 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup creamy Sunbutter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 ½ cups old fashioned gluten free oats
- ¼ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- ¼ cup sunflower seeds
- 2 Tablespoons hemp seeds/hemp hearts*
- Dash salt
- ⅓ to ½ cup dried fruit (I added dried blueberries to this batch)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F
- In a medium sized bowl, mix together the maple syrup, Sunbutter, vanilla, and cinnamon until mixed and smooth.
- Add in the gluten-free oats, coconut, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, and salt (if using) and mix until everything is well coated.
- Spread the granola on a sheet pan and bake in the oven 15 minutes.
- Stir the granola and bake for 8 more minutes.
- Stir the granola and add the dried fruit, and bake for 5 more minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the pan. The granola will continue to dry out and crisp in the pan as it cools.
- Store in an airtight container or jar at room temperature for up to a couple of months if it's kept dry.
Notes
*The hemp seeds are optional, I added them to mine to add a little extra protein.
