This recipe is Gluten Free and Vegan. Enjoy!
What you need:
4 cups Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free old fashioned oats

2 tablespoons chia seeds
1/4 cup flax seed meal
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup dried cherries
1 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup coconut oil
10 drops Cinnamon essential oil
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
2. In a large glass bowl, combine oats, shredded coconut, sliced almonds, chia seeds, flax seed meal, and salt. Stir to combine.
3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the maple syrup, and coconut oil together.
4. Pour liquid mixture over oat mixture. Add essential oil. Stir until well combined.
5. Pour mixture into a large metal pan and put into oven.
6. I bake the granola about 6 hours or until dry.
7. After 2 hours in oven, add dried cherries and cranberries.
8. Bake for an additional 10-20 minutes until granola is golden brown.
9. Once done, remove from oven and let cool.
