1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground black pepper
½ tsp finely ground sea salt
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
2 Cups Gluten Free Quick Cooking Oats
¾ Cups pistachios
¾ Cups Cashews- chopped
1/2 Cup Georgia Grinders x @lilsipper Organic Toasted Coconut Butter
1/3 Cup Maple Syrup
1/3 Cup Coconut Oil OR Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or slipmat and set aside.
2. In a large bowl combine the oats, chopped nuts and spices. In a microwave safe bowl, melt the coconut oil or EVOO, Organic Toasted Coconut Butter and maple syrup in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds. Whisk until a caramel glaze forms.
3. Pour the oil mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until fully combined. Spread out onto the baking sheet and press down firmly using the back of a spatula or jar.
4. Allow granola to bake for 25 minutes WITHOUT stirring, but rotate baking tray around 12.5 min (half way) for even cooking. Let granola cool for at least 1 hour before breaking into clusters.  It is important to let cool completely so clusters form.
