Preparation
- Step 1
Heat oven to 250 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside.
- Step 2
In a large bowl, combine oats, kamut, spelt, quinoa, millet, buckwheat, teff and amaranth. In a separate bowl, whisk together honey, sugar, salt, oil and almonds. Add to the bowl of grains and mix until well combined.
- Step 3
Spread mixture evenly across baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes, until golden brown; the mixture will still be soft and wet, but will become firm and crisp as it cools. Remove from heat and mix in raisins, apricots, currants and cranberries, then cool completely. If necessary, break up clumps into smaller pieces. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

try cutting 50-70% of sugar, honey + oil . That changes the recipe from a semi-candy to a healthy granola.
I pop three tbsp amaranth, 1 tbsp at the time, in a high, hot, deep pot first, and sieve out the unpopped seeds. Otherwise, those seeds are indigestible. Using only 1/3 cup honey, 1/8 cup organic blue agave syrup instead of sugar, 1/4 cup melted coconut oil (instead of 3/4 cup canola) and adding another cup of kamut flakes and a handful of coconut flakes eliminates the oversweetness and many fat calories. My kids/spouse cannot stop eating this. It is gone within a day.

Too much oil and honey, it sticks and take into big chunks!
