Strawberry Granola
Equipment
- 2 Baking sheets
Ingredients
- 4 cups gluten free Old Fashioned rolled oats organic if possible
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil OR avocado oil Or coconut oil
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup use more if you prefer sweeter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 1 cup toasted sliced almonds or roughly chopped almonds
- 1 cup freeze dried unsweetened strawberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300℉/150℃.
- Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the maple syrup, olive or coconut oil, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Add the oats, and nuts (only if they're untoasted) and stir well until everything is coated evenly.
- Divide the mixture between the baking sheets, spread it as evenly in one layer as possible. Bake the granola, stirring every 15-20 minutes and rotating the pans once halfway through baking, for 35 to 40 minutes.
- Once done the granola will be golden brown and toasty. Remove from the oven and mix the freeze dried strawberries and toasted almonds(if previously toasted only) and allow to cool completely; it will further dry to a crisp as it cools.
- Cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. The granola will stay fresh for 2-3 weeks.
