Peach Quinoa Flax Seed Granola

Serves 12
This Summeripe Peach-Quinoa-Flax Seed Granola is a delicious and healthy topping for yogurt with sliced fresh peaches. It’s also a great healthy snack to eat right out of the jar!
Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup Summeripe peach puree, approx. 2 Summeripe peaches, skin removed, sliced & pitted
  • 1/4 cup honey or agave nectar
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 cup old fashion oats (not quick cooking)
  • 1/2 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/4 cup flax seeds
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch ground ginger
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  2. Place peach slices into a blender and puree until smooth. (Tip-Slicing peaches over the blender will help capture all the peach juice)
  3. In a small bowl combine peach puree, honey or agave nectar and coconut oil, whisk until blended. Set aside.
  4. In a medium bowl combine and mix all dry ingredients.
  5. Add the peach puree mixture to the dry ingredients and toss to coat.
  6. Line a 11×16 baking sheet with parchment paper, evenly spread granola mixture onto parchment paper. Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool for 30 minutes.
  7. Once cooled, break crisp granola into bite size pieces, store in an air tight container/jar.
