Pistachio Goji Berry Granola
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats (not instant)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- ⅓ cup pistachios, chopped
- ¼ cup coconut flakes
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅓ cup goji berries
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet on the stove over low heat. Add the oats and spread them into a thin layer in the pan. Let them start to toast for a minute or two. Add the coconut oil and salt, and stir to incorporate. Continue toasting the oats for 5-7 minute or so, stirring only occasionally.
- Add the maple syrup 1 tablespoon at a time, and stir to coat. (Keep your stove at a pretty low temp so the maple syrup doesn't burn).
- Once the oats look pretty toasty, add the pistachios, coconut flakes, and cinnamon. Continue to slowly cook until the pistachios and coconut flakes are toasted but not burned (about another 5 minutes). Watch carefully, as the bottom layer starts to toast, you want to stir it (before it burns)... pause and stir again so everything toasts evenly.
- Remove from the pan and stir in the goji berries.
- Let cool and enjoy as a snack or on top of your yogurt (coconut yogurt if you're vegan).
