Ingredients for   GRANOLA (GRAIN FREE)
	Yield: 6-8 cups
Nuts, Chopped/Sliced (Peanuts, Almonds, Cashews, Pecans, Pistachios or Walnuts)	3 cups
Seeds (Chia, Flax, Hemp, Pepitas or Sesame Seeds)	2/3 cup
Flax Seed Meal	1/2 cup
Oil, Liquid (Butter, Coconut Oil or Ghee)	1/4 cup
Egg Whites	2
Sweetener (Erythritol, Stevia or Monk Fruit)	4-6 tablespoons
Vanilla Extract	1 teaspoon
Ground Cinnamon	1/2 teaspoon
Salt, Finely Ground (if nuts are unsalted)	Pinch

METHOD:

1.  Clean jars and equipment by washing in hot soapy water and rinsing well before use. Ensure jars (or storage containers) are completely dry before storing granola in them.

2.   Pre-heat oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking trays with baking paper, so the granola will not stick to the tray.

3.  Measure ingredients into a large bowl. Mix well.
4.  Spread mixture evenly onto the lined baking trays, about 5mm (1/4 inch) thick.
5.  Bake for 15 minutes at 180°C (350°F) or until light brown.
6.  Cool granola on the trays.
7.  Pour cooled granola into a jar or container, breaking into pieces if desired.
8.  Store granola on the bench or in the pantry for up to 2 weeks, or refrigerate for consumption within 4 weeks (or freeze for up to 3 months, especially helpful if you’ve made a larger batch).
9.  Consume granola within 3 weeks (if stored in the pantry at room temperature), or refrigerate for a month or more, or freeze for up to 3 months.
