Granola Simple and Sweet

I love making homemade granola using my GRANOLA MADE SIMPLE RECIPE/FORMULA. Today I made a sweeter variation than I usually do. I omitted the dried fruit and added mini chocolate chips.

Granola Formula

Oats + Ancient Grains + Seeds + Flavor + Oil + Honey + OPTIONS

Sweet Start Variation

4 cups gluten free oats
1 cup seeds ... pepitas + sunflower seeds
2 TBSP almond flavoring
1 cup coconut oil
1 cup honey (use agave to make vegan)
3/4 cup Enjoy Life Foods Mini Chips in my recipe for a sweet treat
1 cup unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup ground flax seeds

Each batch of granola I make just a bit different ... after all, variety is the spice of life!
