Sugar Free Granola
This granola makes for a healthy breakfast or great snack on the go.
- 1/2 cup 1/2 cup almonds
- 7 medjool dates (remove pits)
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup oats (gluten free oats)
- 2 tsp butter or coconut oil
- 1 TBS HONEY
OPTIONAL
- 1/2 cup freeze dried strawberries
- 1/2 cup freeze dried blueberries
Preheat oven to 300 F. Place almonds and dates in a food processor and blend until combined. The almonds should be in smaller pieces but not turned into flour. Transfer into bowl to mix in coconut, cinnamon, vanilla, and oats.
In saucepan, melt butter and honey over low heat. Stir until they begin to caramelize. Pour butter/honey over granola mixture and toss well.
Spread mixture out onto a baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Continue to bake until granola is golden brown, about 5-15 minutes longer. Let cool and toss with freeze dried fruits if desired. Store airtight at room temperature.
