Ingredients

  • 255 g old fashioned oats the big flat rolled ones, NOT porridge oats
  • 35 g spelt flour
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon ground
  • teaspoon ground cardamom seeds
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt flakes
  • 95 g pecans chopped roughly
  • 95 g almonds I prefer whole for crunch but feel free to chop roughly
  • 50 g mixed seeds I use a blend of linseed, sesame, pumpkin, poppy and chia, but feel free to use your imagination
  • 155 ml fruit syrup maple, carob, date, agave - all work great
  • 6 tablespoon melted coconut oil I’ve also tried rapeseed oil and it’s just as delicious
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla bean paste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 150c.
  • In a large bowl mix the oats, flour, cinnamon, cardamom and salt until combined. Add the nuts and seeds and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix the melted oil, syrup and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix well to combine.
  • Spread the mixture out evenly onto two baking sheets and bake for 30 minutes, removing from the oven half-way through to break up and stir the granola. (In the second half of the cook time, watch the edges like a hawk and make sure they don’t burn).
  • Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Once cooled, the granola should be brittle and crunchy. Store in an airtight jar until ready to serve.
