Quinoa Granola

Try as I might to avoid carbs, the cereal aisle calls to me.  So I caved to my granola cravings, but skipped the cereal aisle in favor of the beautiful bulk foods aisle.  I loaded up on oats, nuts and dried berries and brought them home to create this happy little thing.  The measurements are approximate so adjust to your taste and you should feel welcome to add other bulk aisle treasures.

Quinoa Granola
3 cups oats
1 cup quinoa (uncooked)
1/2 cup each: pecans, almonds, shaved coconut, dried cranberries, raisins
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground cloves
2/3 cup coconut oil
1/3 cup agave syrup or honey
1/3 cup maple syrup
2 tsp vanilla

Mix oats, quinoa, nuts, coconut, berries and spices. Mix oil, syrup and vanilla.  Stir oil mixture into oat mixture and pour into 9x13 baking pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10 min.

When finished, pour cold milk (or milk alternative) over a bowl of the warm granola and savor it. Then and only then, you can put the rest into an airtight container.

Enjoy!
