Home-made granola is so easy to make and such a great thing to always have on hand. It is especially good when traveling and I even keep some in my car in case of emergencies. Store bought brands are usually loaded with sugar, refined oil and super high in fat so I always make my own. I love this recipe since it has so many disease fighting properties like rooibos, acai, goji, coconut oil and more! Using a dehydrator helps keep the amazing health benefits in place but you can still enjoy this recipe with an oven.

Ingredients (makes 4 cups):

• 1 cup organic oats
• ½ cup organic oat groats
• ½ cup sunflower seeds
• ¼ cup sliced almonds
• ¼ cup organic goji berries
• ¼ cup organic unsweetened shredded coconut
• ¼ cup organic maple syrup
• 1 packet Sambazon Acai liquid (found in freezer section of health market)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp himalayan or celtic salt
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• 2 tbls organic coconut oil
• 2 packets of rooibos tea leaves

Preparation:

1. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix thoroughly.
2. If using dehydrator, spread out on teflax or parchment lined tray. Dehydrate at 106 degrees for 8-10 hours.
3. If using an oven, spread out on a baking sheet and bake at 250 degrees for 45 minutes. May need to flip over halfway through.
4. You’ll know granola is done when it is crunchy.
5. Enjoy as a snack or with non-dairy milk.
