Elderberry Spiced Honey Granola

Finding a granola recipe that is quick to prep, no fuss to bake and has accessible, clean ingredients is a tall task. This recipe hits all the marks, plus it is gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free and grain free. It is lightly sweetened with our Elderberry Spiced Honey for a flavor profile that is hard to match. The crunch is perfect + flavor profile of the spiced honey really comes through. Our kids love it & I love that it is doable to make a quick batch on the weekend to last all week! A big thank you to Alison Elley with ER Organic Solutions for creating this yummy recipe!!


Ingredients:

½ c. organic almonds, roughly chopped

½ c. organic pecans, roughly chopped

½ c. raw organic walnuts, roughly chopped

¼ c. raw organic sunflower seeds

¼ c. raw organic pumpkin seeds

1/8 c. sesame seeds

½ c. organic unsweetened shredded coconut

3 Tbsp. chia seeds

3 Tbsp. hemp seeds

1 tsp organic ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp Himalayan salt

1 tsp organic vanilla

3 Tbsp. Mindfully Made Elderberry Honey


Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 

2. Mix all nuts and seeds together in a large bowl.  Then stir in cinnamon & salt to the nut and seed mixture.  Stir vanilla and honey into mixture until completely mixed and granola starts to clump together. 

3. Evenly spread the granola *in a single layer* on the parchment paper lined baking sheet.

4. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes until toasted. Let sit and cool to room temperature.

5. Break the granola up and serve.  Keep uneaten granola in an airtight container. 

Note: Feel free to substitute flax seeds for chai seeds.  If you’re not a fan of sesame or hemp seeds feel free to leave them out.
