Here it is!

2 cups oats

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

1 cup quinoa (not cooked)

chia seeds

3/4 cup sliced almonds

1/3 cup shredded coconut

1/3 cup coconut oil

1 tsp cinnamon

(optional: chocolate chips, dried cranberries)

First, combine all dry ingredients in a separate bowl. In a smaller bowl, combine the coconut oil and honey and melt in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Combine all the ingredients, but if you are adding chocolate chips/dried cranberries, wait until the granola has been cooked and cooled before adding. Spread the granola on a cooking pan and bake for 35/40 minutes at 325 degrees. If you like your granola to be more crispy, add more time. Be sure to let it cool before transferring it into a sealed container. It should make about 6 cups!
