Granola

January 10, 2014
Granola has been one of my favorite snacks since I was little and we always had it around the house when I was growing up. The base for the granola is really simple; you can change it up and add any of your favorite dried fruits, chocolate, nuts, and seeds that you like. Granola is such a great on-the-go snack and its absolutely delicious. I made this granola a few days ago for a hike in the North Georgia mountains!

Here are a few pictures from our  hike:

  • 2 cups of oats
  • 1/3 cup chopped hazelnuts
  • 1/3 cup chopped almonds
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup flax seeds
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (you can use equal part honey instead of maple syrup if you’d like)
  • 3 TB melted coconut oil

Mix ingredients and bake in oven on 300 for 10-15 minutes. Let the granola cool then add chopped dark chocolate.
