Grain Free Granola

I have made this granola several times.  I have tweaked it & changed some things up a bit.  Every time it has turned out well.  The main thing is to have the correct amount of dry things to wet things.  :)  If you don't care for almonds, make it with all pecans, if you don't like pecans, make it with all almonds, add some walnuts, cashews, sesame seed, or chia seed to the mix if you like those.  Here's what I did today.

Grain Free Granola
1 cup sliced almonds
1 cup chopped pecans
2 cups unsweetened, shredded coconut
1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
1/2 cup roasted & salted sunflower seeds
1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
2 Tbsp ground flaxseed
1/4 cup honey
1/3 cup coconut oil
2 tsp vanilla
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
6 drop English Toffee stevia (optional)

Mix all the nuts, seeds, coconut, flax and spices together in a large bowl.  Heat honey and oil on the stove until they become liquid and combine well.  Then add vanilla and stevia.  Pour the wet mixture over the dry mixture and stir until well coated.  Spread out on large baking sheet covered in parchment paper.  Bake at 300 degrees for 30-40 minutes until everything is toasty brown.  Let cool completely on baking sheets, chunk up granola and store in a glass jar. Serve alone, or my favorite way with blueberries and coconut milk.

This will make you kitchen smell amazing!
