Grain-Free Nutty Granola

Since nuts and seeds all on their own embody the barre3 protein, fat, and fiber food-balance ideal, this granola is a smashing way to kickstart your day. Baking the nuts helps break down the nut-cell walls, making them easier to digest. You may add your favorite dried fruits and coconut flakes for a balanced on-the-go breakfast or snack. Recipe courtesy of Ashley Marti, chef, food stylist, and founder of Local Haven.

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
Mix all nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, fruit, and orange zest in a large bowl. Slowly pour the maple syrup, honey and coconut oil over the nuts and fruit. Be sure to stir the mixture while pouring to evenly coat everything. Lay parchment down on a baking tray to prevent sticking.
Spread the granola on the tray as evenly as possible. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally until golden brown.
