Course: Breakfast
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups rolled oats (375 g)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes (25 g)
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds (50 g)
  • 1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, coarsely chopped (50 g)
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds (50 g)
  • 1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds (35 g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin coconut oil
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1/8 teaspoon pure vanilla powder
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries, roughly chopped (50 g)

Instructions
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F / 160°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the oats, coconut, nuts, seeds, salt, and cinnamon together in a large bowl.
  3. In a small saucepan over medium low heat, warm the coconut oil, honey, maple syrup and vanilla powder and pour over the dry ingredients; mix well until combined.
  4. Spread the mixture evenly onto the lined baking sheet and bake for 15 to 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.
  5. Stir in the chopped cranberries and let the granola fully cool in the tray before serving or stowing away. To serve, create a delicious breakfast parfait (described below) or combine with nut/seed milk and whatever fresh fruit is in season. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Feel free to play around with the amount of spice, and substitute whatever nuts you prefer – I tend to just use whatever is in the cupboard at the time.
  • Granola can be stored in an airtight container for 2-3 weeks. But I guarantee it won't last that long! :)
  • This breakfast parfait with bananas and berries also makes a perfect grab-and-go option! Just layer the ingredients in a jar the night before, pop a lid on, and you’ve got a delicious, portable breakfast ready for your morning rush.
