Homemade quinoa granola

I am still cooking through the awesome cookbook “It’s All Good” and made this great recipe a couple of Sunday’s ago.  It made 6 cups from which my husband and I are still having breakfast!  He puts some on his yogurt, I have it with some almond milk J

½ cup of extra virgin olive oil

½ cup of maple syrup

3 cups quinoa flakes

Sea salt

1 ¼ cups chopped raw walnuts

1 ¼ cups chopped raw pumpkin seeds

¾ cup chopped dried figs

¾ cup chopped pitted prunes

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.  Whisk together the olive oil and maple syrup, and add the quinoa flakes (You want a large bowl for this).  Once you combine, spread evenly over a baking sheet (I like to put aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy clean up).  Sprinkle with a pinch of  salt.  Roast.  The recipe says to stir now and then, but I actually made a mess when I tried to do this!  Also, the mixture became uneven and started to burn.  So I recommend not stirring.  Just roast until it is golden brown, about 25 minutes.  When the mixture is cooled, combine with the walnuts, pumpkin seeds, figs, and prunes.  DELICIOUS!
