Jen’s healthy granola
Makes 2 big jars
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 150 degrees C/gas 2.
- Put the oats and any other grains, seeds, nuts and sea salt into a large mixing bowl and stir together.
- Melt the coconut oil, maple syrup and honey together in a pan over a medium heat. When it starts to bubble remove from the heat and slowly pour over the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon as you go.
Ingredients:
- 250g Organic jumbo oats
- 150g of Mixed seeds (pumpkin, linseed, sunflower, sesame)
- 200g in total (approx.) of bigger nuts such as pecans, almonds, cashews, roughly chopped. Add more if you want, but I feel 200g is enough otherwise the fat content goes up.
- Pinch of sea salt
- 80g coconut oil
- 120g maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 80g coconut chips
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 150 degrees C/gas 2.
- Put the oats and any other grains, seeds, nuts and sea salt into a large mixing bowl and stir together.
- Melt the coconut oil, maple syrup and honey together in a pan over a medium heat. When it starts to bubble remove from the heat and slowly pour over the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon as you go.
- Tip the granola onto a large baking tray, spread it out evenly. Bake for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until everything is golden. After 20 minutes add the coconut chips (optional) -this is to make sure they don’t burn.
- Remove from the oven and leave to cool on the baking tray. Once cooled, store the granola in airtight jars – it will keep for at least a month. Enjoy with 2 tablespoons of natural yoghurt!
