Ingredients
Scale
- 1 egg white
- 1/2 cup avocado oil
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp pure almond extract
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 3 cups gluten-free rolled oats
- 1/2 cup raw walnuts
- 1/2 cup raw almonds or sliced almonds or pecans
- 1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup dried fruit
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk one egg white in a bowl until frothy, or prepare a flax 'egg' by combining ground flaxseed with water and letting it thicken for about 10 minutes.
- Coarsely chop the walnuts and almonds in a food processor or with a sharp knife.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped nuts, oats, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and sea salt, and stir thoroughly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and almond extract. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients along with the egg white or flax 'egg,' and mix well to coat.
- Spread the mixture onto the lined baking sheet, pressing it down to form an even layer.
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes until the edges are golden brown. After baking, let it sit for one hour to create clusters. Mix in the dried cherries afterwards.
- Store the cooled granola in a zip lock bag or jar for up to 10 days. Serve with yogurt, fruit, or milk.
Notes
For a vegan version, use a flax ‘egg’ instead of egg white.
