For best results, begin the night before...
* Place almonds, macadamias & pepitas in a large Pyrex dish. Cover with water, seal with a lid and soak overnight in the refrigerator.
* Place raisins in a smaller container, cover with water, seal and soak overnight in the fridge.
In the morning...
* Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
* Use a large colander to strain the nuts and seeds. Drain, rinse and place in a food processor. Pulse until coarsely chopped; place chopped nuts & seeds in a large bowl.
* Add coconut flakes, vanilla and cinnamon; stir to coat.
* Place granola mixture on a large, parchment lined baking sheet; drizzle lightly with honey, if desired. Whole 30-omit honey.
* Bake 2 hrs. Remove when granola is browned to perfection.
* Allow granola to cool completely then store in an air tight, glass container up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
** To serve, place 1/4 cup granola in a small bowl, add dried fruit and a drizzle of coconut milk (We recommend coconut milk whisked straight out of the can... thick and delicious!)
