Maple Sunbutter Granola

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray a cookie sheet lightly with oil.

In a large bowl, combine the oats, flax meal, salt, coconut flakes, and sunflower seeds, and mix well.

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. Add in the vanilla and mix together thoroughly. Pour the maple and sunflower seed butter mixture over the oats and stir to combine.

Spread the granola onto the prepared cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes, or until golden color, stirring halfway through cooking time.

If you decide to add dried fruit or chocolate chips, you can stir this into the granola when it has cooled. This prevents the dried fruit from burning or drying out too much. Enjoy!
