Combining a grain with a legume, seeds, nuts, and amaranth gives you a high-protein breakfast or snack. If you can’t drink milk, serve with soy milk.

Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare a jelly-roll pan by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, amaranth flour, walnuts, coconut, sunflower seeds, peanuts, and ground cinnamon.
Prepare Sweet Mixture:
- In a small saucepan, combine the honey and oil.
- Heat the mixture briefly until the honey is liquefied.
- Stir in the pure vanilla extract.
Combine and Bake:
- Pour the sweet mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl.
- Mix everything well until the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture evenly in a thin layer on the prepared jelly-roll pan.
Bake:
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Stir the mixture every 10 minutes to ensure even browning.
- The granola is done when it turns a golden brown color.
Cool and Store:
- Once baked, remove the granola from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
- Stir in the raisins or other dried fruit of your choice.
- Transfer the cooled granola to tightly capped jars or airtight containers.
- Store the granola in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness.
