This is a quick and simple way to make a healthy and tasty snack packed with sustainable energy rather than the sugar spike you get from commercial granola.

Ingredients

  • 365 g Old Fashion Oats ~4 cups
  • 100 g Coconut oil – virgin ~0.5 cups
  • 75 g Honey ~0.25 cups
  • 75 g Maple syrup ~0.25 cups
  • 75 g Pecans ~0.5 cups
  • 75 g Seed – Pumpkin, sunflower ~0.5 cups
  • 56 g Walnuts ~0.5 cups
  • 56 g Sliced Almonds ~0.5 cups
  • 1 tsp Sea salt – fine grain
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 0.5 tsp Cinnamon
  • 0.5 tsp Cardamon
  • 0.5 tsp ginger powder
  • 0.5 cups Dark chocolate chips – optional

Process

  1. Mise en Place – measure and prepare your ingredients prior to starting.
  2. Chop nuts into whatever size you want – or don’t chop, dealer’s choice.
  3. Preheat oven to 350 F.
  4. Roast nuts 8 mins – even if they’ve previously roasted.
  5. Mix oats, nuts and salt in bowl.
  6. Warm oil, honey, and syrup in pot until melted. Add vanilla, ginger, cardamon and cinnamon. Stir until dissolved.
  7. Pour oil mixture over oat mixture and toss until all the dry ingredients are coated.
  8. Pour contents on a lined baking sheet and spread out to an even ~1/3rd inch thickness. Pack down as you go using a flat object like a spatula.
  9. Back ~15 min (fan) or 20 min conventional or until granola gets a nice brown top without burning.
  10. Let cool down at least 30 mins.
  11. Cut or crack into desired sizes and store in an airtight container.
  12. Granola will keep longer if you store in the fridge even though none of the ingredients require refrigerated storage.
