Ingredients
- 2 cups fine-cut oats, (certified gluten-free if needed) (200 g)
- 2 cups puffed brown rice (60 g)
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes (50 g)
- 1 cup whole almonds (135 g)
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil (80 g)
- 1/3 cup runny honey (if vegan, use pure maple syrup) (80 ml)
- 1 teaspoon cardamom
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- generous pinch of salt
- 25 g raisins
- 25 g dried apple, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F / 160°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the oats, puffed rice, coconut, and nuts.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the coconut oil until just melted, add the honey, spices and salt. Whisk together to combine. Pour over the dry ingredients; mix well until evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture evenly onto the lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes until it starts to turn golden, be sure to give it a little stir near the halfway point. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool in the tray.
- Stir in the raisins and chopped apples and let the granola fully cool in the tray before serving or stowing away.
- To serve, combine with nut/seed milk or yoghurt and whatever fresh fruit is in season. Enjoy!
Notes
- If you don’t have cardamom on hand, just skip it and increase the amount of vanilla and cinnamon.
- Not everyone loves raisins. Skip and increase the amount of dried apple or replace with chopped dates, or even apricots.
