INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, sliced almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the granola in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until it turns golden brown and crispy, stirring it once halfway through the baking time.
Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet.
Once the granola has cooled, stir in the dried fruits.
To serve, scoop some plain yogurt into a bowl or glass, and top it with a generous amount of the gluten-free granola. Add fresh fruits on top for extra flavor and nutrition.
Enjoy your Gluten-Free Granola with Yogurt as a delightful and wholesome breakfast or snack!
