I make up this recipe and then bake about 4 cups, divided between 2 stoneware jelly roll pans, at a time. That way, I can add whatever extras, such as coconut, seeds, and dried fruit, that different people like, and of course leave a plain batch for the picky kids!
12 cups GF rolled oats
2 Tbsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 1/2 cups local raw honey
1 cup coconut oil, melted
2 Tbsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
In a large bowl, stir together rolled oats, cinnamon, and ginger.
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients, mixing well.
Add any optional extras:
GF oat bran
Unsweetened flaked coconut
Sunflower, pumpkin, chia, hemp, or flax seeds
Divide about 4 cups of granola between two stoneware jelly roll pans.
Bake for 10 minutes. Stir. Bake for 10 more minutes.
Remove from oven. Stir in any optional dried fruit:
Organic raisins
Dried apples, bananas, berries, dates, mango, pineapple, cranberries
Continue cooking a total of about 4 cups at a time, divided between the two stoneware pans, adding any optional ingredients that you'd like.
Granola will crisp up as it cools. Store an airtight container.
