Servings: 10 serves, approximately
Calories: 255kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup coconut flakes
- 1/3 cup buckwheat groats
- 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/3 cup sunflower seeds
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey or brown rice syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 150˚C (300 F). Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
- Place all of the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
- Melt together the maple syrup, coconut oil and vanilla in a small saucepan over a low heat, so the mixture is nice and runny.
- Pour the runny liquid over the dry muesli mix and combine thoroughly.
- Spread the mixture evenly over the baking tray, in a thin layer. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, gently stirring and flipping the mixture around 2 or 3 times during the cooking process to prevent burning. The granola should turn a deep golden brown.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool; the granola will harden as it does so.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature, for up to 6 weeks, if it lasts that long!
Notes
*If you like your granola with dried fruit, you can always add a small handful of your favourites after the granola has cooked – don’t add it before baking!
