Berry and Seed Granola

I love good granola that's not high in calories sugar and honey. I love using small amounts of granola on smoothies, fruit and just out of the jar. 

  
What you'll need:
2 cups oats (gluten free)
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup Gogi berries
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 tbs coconut oil
2 tbs pure maple syrup (I used homemade from family friend) 
1 tbs vanilla

Directions:
Turn oven to 350 degrees
Mix all dry ingredients
Place coconut oil and syrup in pan and warm so completely melted
Pour over dry mixture and add vanilla
Mix and place on cookie sheet tray covered in wax paper
Cook for 12-15 minutes and then turn over
Put back in oven for about 10-12 minutes
Take out and let cool


* be careful to not burn the berries; I burnt the first batch because the berries cook faster than the oats. You could also bake the oats for about 10 minutes then add the berries.
