2T unhulled sesame seeds
2T ground flax meal
sweetener, to taste
sea salt, to taste
extracts/cinnamon/ground cacao nibs etc.

Melt coconut oil and coat mixture with flavorings and oil. Toast in oven at 325 degrees for 15-30 minutes, or until brown and crispy.

For chocolate granola, grind up 1/4-1/2c cacao nibs and mix in, omitting the ground flax meal. Vanilla extract complements it nicely.

For cinnamon granola, add in 2T ground cinnamon. Maple extract is great with the cinnamon.

This stuff is ADDICTIVE. Amazing with coconut milk for a breakfast cereal. I use erythritol and Nustevia to sweeten.

I wonder how this would work without the flax meal. I avoid flax because it's a phytoestrogen.
