Chocolate puffed quinoa cranberry, roasted coconut and almond granola

I love granola. You can probably glean that from all the granola recipes on this blog :) This is another that goes down in the books as one of my favourites. No added sweetener. Gluten Free. Crispy and satisfying for breakfast, a snack or as a crunchy addition to salad.

This was inspired by literally the most random ingredients in my pantry and inspiration to try and bake some gluten-free items this weekend. I have just finished a relatively busy season of my life and have had the last few days off, enjoying time with my mom and getting back to the kitchen. Enjoy :)
