Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350F.
In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the the flaked or rolled oats and sprouted rye, oil, sweetener, salt and optional sourdough starter discard. Honey can be briefly microwaved to make it more mixable.
Spread the mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, a silicone mat, or lightly sprayed with oil. The layer should be about 1/2 inch thick.
Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven. If you want a less clumpy granola, stir and then add the nuts, flaxmeal, and coconut on top of the half-baked granola. If you want a more clumpy granola, don't stir before adding the additional ingredients.
Return the sheet to the oven and bake 10 minutes more until everything is lightly toasted.
Remove from the oven and don’t stir unless you prefer a loose granola. Add the dried fruit if desired.
Let the granola cool for at least 30 minutes before breaking it into chunks to store in a jar, a tupperware, or bag.
