Servings: persons

1 cup Dry Quinoa
2-1/2 cups Old Fashioned Oats
3/4 cups Shredded Or Flaked, Unsweetened Coconut
3/4 cups Sliced Almonds
1/4 cups Chopped Walnuts
1/4 cups Flax Seed
3/4 teaspoons Salt
1/4 cups Coconut Oil
1/4 cups Raw Honey
1/4 cups Grade B Maple Syrup
1 teaspoon Almond Extract
1-1/2 cup Dried Pitted Cherries

1
Preheat the oven to 250 F.
2
Thoroughly rinse the quinoa under running water for several minutes, and drain with a fine mesh sieve. Pour the rinsed quinoa into a large frying pan and toast over medium low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring constantly until all of the moisture has evaporated.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, toasted quinoa, coconut, almonds, walnuts, flax seed and salt.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, raw honey, maple syrup and almond extract until thoroughly blended.
5
Pour the oil mixture over the dry ingredients and stir to coat.
6
Spread the granola evenly over two large rimmed baking sheets lined with parchment paper or Silpat liners. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 20 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure that the granola is evenly toasted.
7
When the granola is finished baking, remove the pans from the oven, set them on a rack and allow granola to cool for 15 minutes at room temperature.
8
Mix the dried cherries into the granola and store in an airtight container for up to a week.
