Yummy Granola Recipe....great for last minute gifts

I almost forgot to share this with all of you.  I decided to make some homemade goodies this year for my holiday gifts and wanted to give you one of my recipes.  It's delicious! Wrap it up in a beautiful cellophane bag and tie it with ribbon for a delicious homemade treat for your guests or as a party favor!

Scrumptious Energy Boosting Granola


1-1/2 cups oats
¾ cup sunflower seeds
¼ cup ground flaxseed
½ cup dried cranberries or any other dried fruits
½ cup slivered almonds or any other chopped nuts
½ cup shredded coconut, unsweetened
3 Tbsp. natural peanut butter or other nut butters (unsalted)
1 Tbsp. organic extra virgin coconut oil
¼ tsp. sea salt (do not use if nut butter contains salt)
¼ cup agave nectar
1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
½ tsp vanilla or almond extract
Sprinkle of cinnamon

Preheat oven to 300.  Combine ingredients in a bowl and mix well.  Press mixture into a baking pan and bake for 35-40 minutes.  Store in an air tight container.  Serve with plain goat’s milk yogurt, coconut yogurt, or rice milk and fresh berries and bananas.
