Ingredients

  • 10 servings coconut oil for greasing pan or parchment paper
  • 10 servings fruit dried as needed
  • teaspoon ground cinnamon 
  • 0.3 cup blackstrap molasses (Carrie uses molasses)

  • 0.5 cup maple pancake syrup 
  • tablespoons sugar raw organic
  • 0.5 cup sunflower seeds 
  • 0.5 cup coconut shredded sweetened
  • teaspoon vanilla 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • baking sheet
  • oven

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Rub two large (13×18 inch) rimmed baking sheets with coconut oil or regular oil or skip the oil and use parchment.
  2. Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl and spread evenly on the two baking sheets.
  3. Bake on the middle and lower racks, switching halfway through and stirring every 15 minutes, for about 40 to 45 minute or until granola is browned.
  4. Remove from oven and let it cool and crisp. Stir in dried fruit if using.Note: Carrie bakes hers one big sheet at 350 F. for about 30 minutes, stirring often. I prefer going slow and low at 300 F for about 40 minutes.
