Spiced Overnight Granola

 

 This is a very adaptable, basic granola recipe that is organically nut-free & allergy friendly. Ideally, you may personalize it by adding your favorite dried fruit, nuts, or even seeds. It's worth noting that the prep & cook times do not incorporate the resting period in the oven, which slow bakes as it regulates. Adult and child friendly as well. 

 

¼ cup melted coconut oil or grapeseed oil

¼ cup agave nectar

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

⅛ teaspoon salt

2 cups certified gluten-free rolled oats

1 cup certified gluten-free quick oats, not instant

Dairy Free Coconut Milk Beverage

 

Prepare the oven to 300ºF.

In a small bowl, add the oil, sweetener, vanilla, spices, & salt. Stir well.

Set the oats in a large bowl & mix to combine the two types, then add the liquid ingredients and toss till all the oats are well covered.

Distribute the oat mixture evenly on a baking sheet with rimmed edges to prevent the granola from sliding off the sheet or big jelly roll pan. Set the oats in the oven and bake for Ten minutes, not longer, before turning off the oven and leaving the granola inside to complete baking.

Mix to declump, then serve the granola soaked in coconut milk beverage or on coconut milk yogurt.

Keep any remaining granola in an airtight jar at room temperature.
