Oven baked, golden quinoa granola served with coconut yogurt, and goji berries
Instructions
Preheat your oven at 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together.
Spread the mixture on the baking sheet et bake in the oven for about 20-30 minutes, stirring the granola halfway through the baking time. The granola is ready when it reaches a nice golden brown color.
Let the cereal cool completely at room temperature. Using your hands, brake the big pieces into bite size chunks.
Serve with your favorite plant-based milk, a homemade nut milk, or my homemade cashew yogurt. Add a variety of dried fruits (dates, goji berries, mulberries, raisins, etc.) and top with fresh fruit when serving.
Store your high protein quinoa granola in an airtight container. It will keep for about 1 month.
