Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups dry rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup raw shelled hemp seeds
  • 1 medium Granny Smith apple peeled & finely diced (about 1 1/4 cup)
  • 1/2 cup pecans roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup dried tart cherries roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup cashew butter you want it to be creamy, not the bottom of the jar
  • 5 TBSP pure maple syrup
  • 4 TSP cinnamon
  • 1 TSP vanilla extract
  • 1/8 TSP ground cloves
  • 1/4 TSP salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • In a small pot, combine cashew butter, maple syrup and vanilla over low heat. Cook until warm and bubbly, stirring occasionally until mixture is well combined and smooth.
  • Meanwhile, combine the oats, hemp, apple, pecans, cherries, cinnamon, salt and cloves in a large bowl. Toss to combine well.
  • Once the syrup mixture is ready, pour it on top of the oats mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until combined well.
  • Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Pour the granola onto it, forming a single layer.
  • Bake for 12 minutes. Remove from oven, toss evenly, then bake again for another 10-12 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and allow the granola to slightly cool before breaking into clusters and pouring it into a large bowl.

Notes

*Ensure that the oats and hemp seeds you use are certified gluten free if necessary.*
