Fresh peaches have nothing on grilled peaches! Cooking them over medium-high heat enhances their flavor and sweetness while adding an earthy char and lovely warmth. When served with homemade granola, they can be equally delightful as breakfast or dessert.

Total Time: 60 minutes
Yields: Approximately 6 cups of granola

Granola

Dry Ingredients

• 3 cups old fashioned oats (do not use quick oats)
• 1.5 cups mix of your favorite nuts (pecans, walnuts, cashews, almonds, pistachio, macadamia, etc.)
• 1 cup seeds (pumpkin, sesame, sunflower)
• 1/2 cup of coconut shreds
  
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1-2 teaspoons cinnamon
• Orange zest (optional), about 4 tablespoons

Wet Ingredients

• 2 egg whites, whisked
• ½ cup honey or maple syrup (you can add more if you like it sweeter) 
• ½ cup Chosen Foods Organic Avocado, Coconut, & Safflower Oil
• ¼ cup whole chia seeds or ground flax seeds
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 300°F.
2. Mix dry ingredients in a bowl.
3. Whisk wet ingredients together (with chia or flax) and let sit for 5 minutes to thicken. Then, combine well with the dry ingredients.
4. Use parchment paper to line a rimmed baking sheet. Spread the granola mixture in one thin layer, making sure the it's not too thick. If it is, use 2 baking sheets.
5. Bake granola for about 40-50 minutes total, stirring halfway through. Cook until golden brown.
6. Let cool completely on the baking sheet (this helps make it clump together).
