Raisin Granola
I have been making granola at least twice a month these last few months. I like it to be reasonably balanced overall by using a mix of traditional granola ingredients with some pantry favorites. This recipe has some flexibility. I like to use honey as my liquid sweetener; however, agave and maple syrup can be used.

Ingredients
3 cups rolled or quick Oats
1 cup Cocoa Nibs
1/2 cup Hemp Hearts
1/2 cup Flax seeds or 1 cup nuts of choice
1 TBSP Kosher Salt
1 TBSP Cinnamon Powder
2 Teaspoons Nutmeg
1 Cup Honey - more may be used if you desire a clumpier result
1 TBSP Olive Oil or oil of choice
2 Teaspoons Vanilla
Preheat oven to 350F and line a standard-size baking sheet with parchment paper. Note: If you are making a double batch, you'll want a large baking sheet or want to bake it in two batches.
Mix all the dry ingredients first, then add your wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
Once mixed, spread out in an even layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
Check after ten minutes and cook longer if desired, up to 15-20 minutes, checking every three minutes. And stirring to make sure the raisins don’t burn.
It should be lightly golden brown when done, and the raisins will have puffed up.
Some popular ways to use this in our home are as a parfait with honey, greek yogurt, and fresh fruit. It’s also an excellent topping for smoothie bowls and just a cereal for breakfast with milk of choice. I try to add more milk than granola, as it’s reasonably absorbent.
