Ingredients

  • 5 cup rolled whole oats
  • ⅓ cup Liviana® CBD-Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil 
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1 cup almonds, roughly chopped into quaters
  • 1 cup flaked coconut
  • ½ cup flaxseeds
  • ½ cup sesame seeds
  • ¼ cup chia seeds
  • ½ cup Liviana® CBD-Infused Alfafa Blossom Honey 
  • 1 cup raisins (optional)

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 150°C. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients. Mix well to ensure the ingrdients are evenly coated. 
  3. Spread the granola mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until the granola is golden brown and fragrant. Stir the granola every 10 minutes to ensure even baking and prevent burning.
  5. Once the granola is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crispier as it cools.
  6. Transfer the granola to an airtight container or glass jar for storage. It can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
