SCD Granola

SCD | gluten free | dairy free  

Ingredients

• 4-5 C chopped nuts and seed mixture (I use whatever I have on hand – pecans, almonds, walnuts, pepitas and pumpkin seeds)
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 C shredded coconut*
• 1 tsp salt
• 3⁄4 C dried fruit such as currants, blueberries, raisins, apricot pieces
• 3⁄4 C avocado, safflower, sunflower, grapeseed, coconut or mild olive oil (can use less to start out and add more if needed)
• 3⁄4 C honey
• 1 tsp vanilla

Toppings: Yogurt of choice, fresh fruit (banana, berries, kiwi etc.)

*Optional

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Add larger nut pieces to a Food Processor or high powered blender and pulse until desired nut size is reached.
3. Mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl including salt.
4. Warm oil + honey + vanilla together in a pot on the stove until fully uniform.
5. Pour oil/honey/vanilla over the dry ingredients and fold to mix (while pouring). Taste test to see if any additional sweetener, spice, or salt is needed.
6. Spread granola mixture in a single layer onto sheet pan** and place in oven for 10 minutes.
7. Remove the pan from oven, stir/flip the mixture with a spatula and place back in the oven for another 10-20 minutes until mixture reaches desired golden glow.
8. Allow granola to cool in air-tight dry storage container with the lid off. Once cool, store in this container and use within 7-10 days.

Notes

**you will likely need to make 1-2 batches depending on what size of sheet pan you use.
