DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F (175degrees C)

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, nuts, and seeds

3. In a small saucepot, combine the wet ingredients, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk over medium heat for 2 to 3 minuets, just until the almond butter has liquified and integrated with the other ingredients.

4. Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry mixture. Use a rubber spatula to combine wet and dry ingredients. Be sure to scrape the bottoms and sides of the bowl. The oats and nuts should be evenly coated with the we mixture.

5. Add the raisins and stir to combine with the granola. (Yes, you bake the raisins an they taste great!)

6. Turn the granola mixture out onto a lined baking sheet. Use the spatula to spread the mixture evenly and press it into place.

7. Cook for 20 to 25 minuets, or until the granola is lightly browned.

8. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before storing. The granola should cool for at least 15 minuets (but up to an hour) so the granola can harden and get crunchy.

9. Break the harden granola into chunks and store

10. Serve with plant milk or vegan yogurt and fruit
