Healthy No Oat Granola
A Balsam Members' Favorite Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 c Unsweetened Coconut Flakes
- 1 c Sliced Raw Almonds
- 1 c Pumpkin Seeds
- ½ c Sunflower Seeds
- ½ c Pecans
- ¾ t Pink Salt
- 1 t Ground Cinnamon
- ½ c Raw Honey OR Pure Maple Syrup
- 2 T Ghee or Grass-fed Butter
- 1 t Pure Vanilla Extract
Instructions
Turn on the broiler in the oven and raise a rack up close to the broiler in the top of the oven. Put the coconut in a shallow pan and toast it in the broiler. Keep a close watch because it will burn if you don’t watch it! Take it out to cool as you mix the other ingredients.
Change the oven to 300 degrees and preheat. In a large bowl mix all the dry ingredients together. When the coconut is cool, add to the dry ingredients. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, add the honey, butter or ghee and vanilla. Warm and stir just until these ingredients mix together nicely.
Line the shallow baking pan with parchment paper and dump the dry ingredients on to it. Drizzle the honey butter mixture over the dry ingredients and lightly toss them together.
Bake for 10 minutes at 300 degrees and then toss gently again. Do this 3 times or until the “granola” looks golden brown. Remove the pan from the oven and allow to cool. Store in an airtight glass container. Will keep for 7-10 days.
