Total Time 30 minutes
Serving Size 8

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats not the instant kind
  • 1 cup rinsed and drained quinoa
  • 1 cup flaked coconut recipe calls for unsweetened, but I used sweetened, and it was fine
  • 3/4 cup chopped almonds
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons of ginger
  • 1/2 cup warmed coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup honey or you can use brown rice syrup
  • 2/3 cup cranraisins or you can use your favorite dried fruit

Instructions

  • Combine the oatmeal, quinoa, coconut, almonds and ginger in a large bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the coconut oil and honey together, then add the wet mixture to the mixed dry ingredients and stir well.
  • Spread the mixture out evenly on a greased baking sheet, and bake for around 20 minutes in a 375 degree oven. Make sure to stir occasionally so it browns evenly.
  • After it’s thoroughly cooled, add the fruit.
  • Store at room temperature in an airtight canister for up to two weeks.
