Granary Granola

This is my current granola recipe. It’s pretty simple to make and full of nutrient dense ingredients, so rather than having to look at packets in the supermarket, you know exactly what’s in your bowl.

Generally served on top of some greek yogurt or kefir but also with milk. Top with blueberries or any seasonal fruits.

You can use this recipe as a base, but if you prefer other nuts like hazelnuts or pecans, stick to the main quantities and you have your own unique granola.

INGREDIENTS

3 tbsp coconut oil

100ml maple syrup

2 tbsp honey

1 tsp vanilla extract

350g oats

50g sunflower seeds

50g pumpkin seeds

4 tbsp sesame seeds

125g whole nuts (almonds, pecan, hazel, walnut whatever you like)

50g coconut flakes

METHOD- heat oven to 150c/130c fan

Heat coconut oil, maple syrup, honey and vanilla in a small pan, whisking well.

Prepare the dry ingredients (apart from the coconut flakes) in a large bowl.

Once cooled a little pour the mixture over the dry ingredients, mix well.

Pour all the granola onto lined baking trays, you may need two.

Bake for 15 - 20 minutes.

Add the coconut flakes then turn mixture over.

Bake for another 15 - 20 minutes.

Once cooled pour into an airtight container or glass mason jar.

Enjoy.
