Apricot Quinoa Granola Recipe
- 2 c. old-fashioned oats
- 1 c. quinoa (uncooked)
- 1 c. roughly-chopped pecans
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 c. dried apricots, chopped
- 1/4 c. honey (or maple syrup to make it vegan)
- 2 T. coconut oil, melted
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- Combine and mix the oats, quinoa, pecans, salt, apricots, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
- Stir in the honey and coconut oil
- Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 20 minutes at 325F. Stir once halfway. Sprinkle coconut over and return to oven for 5 minutes.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool on baking sheet. To create clusters in your granola, when it is still warm, press handfuls of granola gently together.
- As with all of my granola recipes, this recipe is completely customizable and flexible! Swap our your favorite nut instead of pecans, or use a different dried fruit than apricot. I’m always changing the recipe based on what I have around the house!
