Homemade Granola

 

Ingredients

  • 4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

  • 1 cup raw nuts

  • ½ cup seeds (sunflower and pumpkin seeds)

  • 1 cup puffed quinoa (available at health food shops)

  • ½ teaspoon flaky salt or himalayan salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil or olive oil

  • ¼ cup maple syrup or honey

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ⅔ cup freeze dried fruit – raspberry/blueberries/strawberries (lower in sugar than dried) (optional)

  • ½ coconut flakes (optional)

 

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, nuts and/or seeds, puffed quinoa, coconut flakes, salt and cinnamon. Stir to blend.

  3. Pour in the oil, maple syrup and/or honey and vanilla. Mix well, until every oat and nut is lightly coated. Pour the granola onto your prepared pan and use a large spoon to spread it in an even layer.

  4. Bake until lightly golden, about 20-25 mins stirring halfway (for extra-clumpy granola, press the stirred granola down with your spatula to create a more even layer). The granola will further crisp up as it cools.

  5. Let the granola cool completely before breaking up. Store in an air tight jar.

  6. To serve: Top with the freeze dried fruit / fresh fruit, yoghurt and extra coconut flakes,
