You can make it up ahead of time to have a fast breakfast ready all week. They even have a cute name for it “birdseed” because of how it looks.

Wild Apple’s “Birdseed” Granola

Makes 4 cups

1½ cup gluten-free rolled oats, 4 ounces

½ cup buckwheat, 3 ounces

¼ cup millet, 1 ¾ ounces

¼ cup red (or plain) quinoa, 1 ½ ounces

¾ cup pistachios, coarsely chopped

¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

¼ teaspoon ground cardamom

¼ teaspoon ground ginger

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons butter (or coconut oil)

¼ cup honey

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine the first 6 ingredients. Heat the spices, butter and honey until butter is melted, and stir to combine. Add vanilla and stir once more. Pour butter mixture over grains, mixing thoroughly to coat the grains completely. Spread the mixture into an even layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until the oats are golden, 25 to 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Let cool completely and break into chunks.
