Cassie’s Healthy, Sugar-Free Granola
- 1 1/2 cups raw mixed nuts, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup of seed mix – pepitas & sunflower seeds
- 1 1/2 cups traditional oats
- 1 cup organic shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons white chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons raw organic virgin coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons of rice malt syrup
Preheat oven to 150°c, line a baking tray with baking paper
Roughly chop mixed nuts
Combine all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl
In a separate bowl melt coconut oil
Add rice malt syrup to coconut oil
Add oil/syrup mixture to the dry ingredients and stir to coat evenly
Spread mixture onto the prepared baking tray ensuring it is spread thinly in order to reach optimum crunchiness! Use an additional baking tray if need be
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden, turning/mixing halfway through the cooking time
Note: The darker the granola the crunchier it will be
Serve with your favourite full cream Greek style yoghurt and accompany with seasonal, fresh fruit
Store in an airtight canister and consume within 2 weeks
