Homemade granola is incredibly easy to make plus it’s cheaper and better for you than store-bought which often has lots of sugar, additives, and preservatives.
Ingredients
- 2 cups coconut chips
- 1 cup rolled oats or buckwheat groats
- 1 cup mixed nuts (roughly chopped)
- 1/2 cup seeds
- 3 Tbsp coconut oil or butter
- 2-3 Tbsp maple syrup or raw honey
- 2 Tbsp tahini or any nut butter
- 1 heaped tsp cinnamon
- A dash of vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Method
- Preheat the oven to 160 degrees celsius.
- In a small saucepan melt together the coconut oil, maple syrup and tahini then add the cinnamon, vanilla and sea salt.
- Place the nuts, seeds, coconut and rolled oats into a large bowl and pour over the melted coconut oil mixture.
- Give it a really good stir to make sure everything is covered.
- Pop on a lined baking tray and allow to cook for 15-20 minutes until golden (keep a close eye on it as the coconut burns easily).
- Allow to cool completely before putting the into an airtight container.
Variations
- You can use any nuts and seeds you like. We used a mix of cashews
- You can also use any nut butter if you don’t have tahini on hand.
