Healthy granola - Real Recipes from Mums

A granola recipe that is quick, easy and good for you! Homemade is always the best

Ingredients (serves 6)

150g Oats
2 Tbsp Sesame seeds
25g Pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
25g Sunflower seeds
50g Flaked almonds
25g Desiccated coconut
1 Tbsp Coconut oil
1 Tbsp Honey
3 Tbsp Maple Syrup
1 tsp Vanilla extract

Method

Preheat oven to 160 degrees celcius.
Combine all dry ingredients (except coconut) in a bowl and mix well.
Melt coconut oil over low heat. Add other wet ingredients (honey, maple syrup and vanilla) and stir to combine.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix well, ensuring an even coverage.
Spread granola onto baking tray in a thin layer and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove the tray from the oven, mix the coconut through, and return to the oven for a further 10 minutes (or until golden brown).
Cool, then store in an airtight container.

Notes

NB: Oven temperatures may vary. I make this is a standard convection oven (not fan forced). Perhaps reduce the temperature by 10 degrees or so if using fan forced and keep an eye on it during baking time to ensure it doesn't burn. The granola will harden and go crunchy as it cools. Try adding dried fruit in with the coconut if you prefer that extra bit of sweetness!

I would have to omit the almonds, but I’m sure I could replace them

Thank you! I simply adore granola. Love it as a topping with yoghurt and fresh berries.

  That’s how I have it too……with stewed fruit & natural yoghurt. But my kids eat it by the bucket load, either as is, or with milk.
