No Bake Grain Free Granola

The base:

1/3 c coconut oil, melted
1/3 c almond butter (or nut butter of choice)
1 Tbsp maple syrup
1 - 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
pinch of salt

Melt coconut oil in microwave or on stove top. Add cocoa powder, nut butter, maple syrup and salt and stir until smooth.

The mix-ins:

1 c sliced almonds
1/2 c shredded coconut
1/3 c sesame seeds

Add in nuts and seeds, stir until all ingredients are well coated.

Other crunchy mix-in items to consider:

walnuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, ground flax, hemp seeds,

vanilla extract - lots of possibilities here.

Once your crunchy ingredients are well coated, move to a large, flat dish and pop into

the freezer until firm - 20 to 30 minutes usually does the trick.

Remove from freezer, break apart and move into an air tight container.

I store this in the freezer, but the fridge would work too - it just might be a little less firm.
