Calories: 176kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa flakes
- 1 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
- 2 cups puffed brown rice cereal
- ⅔ cups unsalted pumpkin seeds
- ⅔ cups unsalted slice almonds
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- ½ cup dried fruit blueberries, raisins, cranberries, etc.
- ¼ cup brown rice syrup
- ⅓ cup peanut butter
- Pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix together the quinoa flakes and coconut on a parchment-covered baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the mixture starts to brown (watch carefully, it'll burn quickly).
- Pour the roasted quinoa flakes and coconut into a large bowl, add in the brown rice cereal, pumpkin seeds, sliced almonds, dried fruit and chia seeds and toss to mix. Set aside.
- In a small, microwave-safe bowl, combine the brown rice syrup and peanut butter. Microwave on high for 30-60 seconds, or until melted and liquidy. Mix in the salt and vanilla extract. Pour mixture over the cereal mixture and toss to coat (try to get everything coated evenly). Dump mixture onto the parchment-covered baking sheet and spread into one layer. Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, or until the granola is brown and fragrant. Let cool completely and then store in airtight containers.
