Grain-Free Granola 

Ingredients

1 cup unsweetened flaked (or shredded) coconut

½ cup almonds

½ cup cashews

½ cup pepitas

½ cup pecans

½ cup dried Bing cherries

¼ cup coconut oil, melted

¼ cup raw honey

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Method

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small saucepan, heat coconut oil and honey over low heat until a thinner liquid consistency is achieved. In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients and mix. Pour coconut-honey liquid over the mixture and toss to lightly coat all ingredients. Spread granola on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
