Maple Sunbutter Granola

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a cookie sheet lightly with oil.
2. 2
   In a large bowl, combine the oats, flax meal, salt, coconut flakes, and sunflower seeds, and mix well.
3. 3
   Place the maple syrup and sunflower seed butter in a small microwaveable bowl (such as a glass Pyrex measuring cup with a pour spout) and warm in the microwave for 30 seconds.
4. 4
   Add in the vanilla and mix together thoroughly.
5. 5
   Pour the maple and sunflower seed butter mixture over the oats and stir to combine.
6. 6
   Spread the granola onto the prepared cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes, or until golden color, stirring halfway through cooking time.
7. 7
   If you decide to add dried fruit or chocolate chips, you can stir this into the granola when it has cooled.
8. 8
   This prevents the dried fruit from burning or drying out too much.
9. 9
   Enjoy!
