Healthy Granola Recipe
A stash of healthy granola is one of my kitchen staples. It’s the perfect snack, breakfast or base for a dessert.
Plus, homemade granola is super easy to make. You’ll only need one bowl and some basic kitchen cupboard ingredients. Ready to make some?
Healthy Granola Recipe
INGREDIENTS:
- 240g whole rolled oats
- 100g whole almonds
- 100g pecans
- 60g hazelnuts
- 120g sunflower seeds
- 50g pumpkin seeds
- 50g flaxseeds
- 50g desiccated or flaked coconut
- 60g goji berries or dried cranberries
- 2 tablespoons of maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons of coconut oil (melted)
- 3 teaspoons of cinnamon
- Pinch of Himalayan salt
RECIPE:
- Pulse the nuts in a food processor to break them down into smaller pieces
- Put them in a bowl with all of the other dry ingredients (minus the goji berries or dried cranberries) and stir together
- Mix the maple syrup with the melted coconut oil and stir into the dry granola mix until evenly coated
- Place the mixture into a baking tray and cook for 30 minutes until slightly toasted. Keep stirring the mixture to make sure every bit of the granola is able to lightly brown and it doesn't burn on top.
- When the healthy granola is cooked all over, remove it from the oven and let it cool
- Once it's cool mix in the goji berries or cranberries and serve
- Store in an airtight container. I prefer to use mason jars instead of plastic containers.
- Image shows served with a handful of blueberries
Top Tip: Make sure you use 100% gluten free, pure whole rolled jumbo oats in this recipe.
Be aware too, that oats on their own are gluten-free, but crops of oats can be rotated with crops of wheat or barley, and they can be grown in fields right next to each other during the same season.
