If you are like me, then you could probably house a pound of granola each morning. The only problem... WAY TOO MUCH SUGAR AND BUTTER! So instead of ditching my beloved tasty oats combination I created a "healthy" version of the toasted breakfast treat. Behold, quinoa and oats granola! Protein packed quinoa mixed with gluten free oats. Instead of using butter or olive oil, I used virgin coconut oil to help it all stick. If you are still craving sweet, simply add a half of a teaspoon of raw honey to top it off. The result, yum.
1 Cup red quinoa
2 Cups of gluten free oats
1/4 cup of cinnamon
1tsp of nutmeg
1/4 of virgin coconut oil
Mix all of the above ingredients together and place in a glass cooking dish
Roast in the oven on 350 degrees for 45 minutes, turning the mixture every 15 minutes
Optional add on's
1 tsp of Acai powder
1tsp of raw honey
1/2 cup of nonfat kefir
