Super Granola

I make regular granola and I make quinoa granola (quinoa, flax, agave, and cinnamon - bake for 10 mins).  This morning I woke up and wondered why I've never combined these two ideas.  So...I present to you: 

Super Granola

116 calories per 1/4 cup serving (or 58 calories for a small 1/8 cup serving); high in fiber, protein, and Omega-3; and very easy to make.  A perfect addition to a breakfast of plain Greek yogurt with a little honey mixed in and blueberries.

Ingredients:
2 cups rolled oats (I used Bob's Red Mill's GF Oats)
1 cup raw quinoa (I used red, regular would work just fine)
2 Tbsp raw chia seeds
5 Tbsp flax seed meal
1/3 cup agave nectar
Cinnamon, Pumpkin Pie Spice, and Salt to taste

Mix all ingredients together and bake on a silicon baking mat for 25-35 mins at 350F.  Stir after 10 mins, 15 mins, 20 mins, and 25 mins, always stirring the outsides inward to prevent burning.  Enjoy!
