Servings: 40 people
Calories: 138kcal
Ingredients
- 4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats can be made GF, make sure the label says gluten-free
- 1 1/2 cups coconut
- 1 1/2 cups sliced almonds
- 1/2 cup dried apricots small dice
- 1/2 cup dried figs small dice
- 1/2 cup pitted dates small dice
- 1/2 cup dried cherries
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup golden raisins
- 1/2 cup green pumpkin seeds
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1/2 cup honey
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine oats, almonds, coconut and salt in a large bowl. Add oil, then honey to a 1 cup measure and pour over mixture. Oil will prevent honey from sticking and it will all pour out easily. Stir to evenly coat oat mixture.
- Bake, stirring halfway through, for approximately 25 - 30 minutes until mixture is golden brown.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool, stir occasionally or it will become a solid mass.
- (I learned this the hard way the first time I made granola, so I'll save you the heartache)
- Once mixture is cooled, combine all ingredients in a large bowl, stir to thoroughly combine and store in an airtight container.
Notes
Green pumpkin seeds = pepitas
