Ingredients

2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1/4 cup ground flaxseeds
2 tablespoons quinoa
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
1/4 cup dried cranberries

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325F degrees. Lay parchment paper in a large 13x9-inch baking pan.

Stir in the oats.
Dump mixture into prepared baking pan and spread in even layer.
Bake for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

The baked quinoa in this granola recipe adds a nice crunch. Quinoa is a complete protein which contains all the essential amino acids our bodies need—it also provides more protein than most other grains.
