Peanut Butter and Maple Syrup Granola -- our current fave

I've been making granola once every week or two, and it magically disappears. The recipe that we've come to after trying different things is this one. The combination of flavours is satisfying, and the ingredients provide long term energy. And yes, of course there is peanut butter ...

ingredients:

1/4 cup extra virgin coconut oil
1/2 cup smooth organic all natural peanut butter
1/4 cup maple syrup (you could also go with honey if you prefer)

1 cup quinoa flakes
1 cup spelt flakes
1 cup oat flakes

1 cup raw almonds, chopped
1 cup raw cashews, chopped
1 cup raw sunflower seeds
1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
1 cup raw shredded coconut (organic)

1 tsp ground vanilla bean
1 tbsp ceylon cinnamon
1/2 tsp sea salt

1/4 cup hemp hearts
1/4 cup chia seeds
1 cup ground flax seeds
2 cups organic raisins


directions:

preheat the oven to 250

1. combine the pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, cashews, almonds, coconut, quinoa flakes, spelt flakes, and oat flakes in a very large bowl. Add the vanilla, cinnamon, and sea salt.
2. combine the coconut oil, peanut butter, and maple syrup
3. pour the coconut oil, peanut butter, and maple syrup concoction over the contents of the bowl and stir very well until completely combined
4. spread evenly on two parchment lined baking sheets
5. bake at 250 for 60 minutes
6. after 60 minutes, turn the oven off and leave the trays in for another hour as the oven cools
7. remove the trays from the oven, return the granola to the large bowl, and add the hemp hearts, flax meal, chia seeds, and raisins.
8. mix well
9. when fully cool, store the granola in an airtight container
