### Granola

**Ingredients:**
- 2 cup of oats
- 1/4 cup of chia seed
- 1/4 cup of flax seeds
- 1/4 cup hemp seeds
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup of dried coconut
- 1/4 cup of coconut oil
- 1/4 cup of maple syrup
- Pinch of cinnamon
- Pinch of salt

**Instructions:**
1. In a large bowl combine the oats, chia seeds, flax, hemp seeds, & dried coconut. Toss to combine and set aside.
2. In a smaller bowl combine the coconut oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt. Place into the air fryer at 350F for 2 minutes until it has melted. After 2 minutes, stir to break up the coconut oil some more.
3. Once it has melted, pour over your oat mixture and mix well to ensure that every oat is well coated.
4. Place a parchment paper in your airfare so that none of the mixture falls through the holes. Pour your oat mixture into the air fryer and bake at 290F for 15 minutes then 270F for 30 minutes. Be sure you are watching your granola after the 30 minutes are up because it can go from golden brown to burnt in a matter of seconds. I air fried mine for another 5 minutes and it was perfect. Alternatively, place in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, stirring every 5 to prevent burning.
5. Take it out and cool it down on a sheet pan. Store in an airtight container.

### Coconut Chia Rice Pudding

**Ingredients:**
- 1 cup white basmati rice
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 can coconut milk
- 1/2 pint of blueberries
- 3-4 cups water

**Instructions:**
1. To a rice cooker, add your rice, half can of coconut milk, and enough water to fill the "porridge" line for 1 cup. If you don't have a rice cooker, just double the water you'd normally use for 1 cup of rice.
2. Cook using the porridge option until fully cooked, but still slightly liquidy and creamy. If it seems like there isn't much liquid left, don't worry we are adding more.
3. Remove from the rice cooker and add in the rest of your coconut milk, maple syrup, chia seeds, and the fresh blueberries.
4. Stir to combine, then place in the silicone molds, filling all the way to the top.
5. Place in the freezer overnight or until completely frozen. This recipe makes slightly more than the others and works really well with the 1 cup molds.
6. To reheat, place in the microwave for 6 minutes. If the pudding is too thick, you can always add a splash of coconut or milk of your choice.
