  1. Mix all the nuts, seeds and nutmeg together in a large bowl.
  2. Add the oil and syrup and mix well, ensuring everything is evenly coated in the oil / syrup.
  3. Spread evenly on a baking sheet in a ½” thick layer.
  4. Bake at 300F in the center of the oven until deep golden brown, stirring occasionally to ensure even coloring.
  5. Allow to cool completely before storing in an air-tight jar.

 

Why does this recipe contain artificial sweeteners?
At SANE we advocate Progress Not Perfection. The small amount of sucralose in the Torani’s syrup is not significant enough to hinder hormonal healing. If there are any reservations about the sweetener used in this recipe, experiment with a SANE approved sweetener such as xylitol with a splash of vanilla extract as a substitute.

Tip!

Sprinkling some of this on top of some greek yogurt is a great way to get your nutrient dense protein alongside this tasty source of whole food fats.

Experiment with the ratios of the nuts/seeds in the granola in order to make the recipe super SANE - for instance, cashew nuts, almonds, and hazelnuts are all SANE sources of whole food fats, though coconut is the SANEst of them all. The granola can be made more SANE by increasing the volume of coconut and decreasing the volume of the other nuts and seeds. Also, experiment with using some chia seeds instead of flax seeds to make the recipe more super SANE.
