muesli

i really, really love this recipe. this is my third homemade granola recipe. i made this one and i couldn't bear to cook all those lovely raw ingredients--so i declared it muesli and put my head just above the bowl and inhaled. it smells so, so yummy. i just love it. it was three thumbs up for our family. but a gazillion thumbs up for me--so it's a keeper:).

museli

1/3 cup coconut oil oil
1/3 cup agave nectar or honey
1/3 cup good quality pure maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp pure almond extract
4 cups uncooked rolled oats (oatmeal)
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
2 tbs ground flax seeds
1/2 cup dried cranberries*
1/2 cup golden raisins*
1/4 cup dried blueberries*
1/4 cup unsalted sunflower seeds
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup chopped cashews
1/2 cup sliced almonds
2 tbs sesame seeds
pinch of sea salt

In a small bowl combine oil, agave nectar, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and almond extract, and stir until well combined.

In a large bowl add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Slowly fold in the wet contents of the small bowl and coat the dry ingredients well.

Store in an airtight container. Eat on top of your yogurt, with rice or nut milk, or just as a snack!

*Use your favorite dried fruit or add it in before you eat!
