Homemade Granola
Authorkaren@myhealthylife.meCategoryBreakfast, SweetDifficultyBeginnerThere's a lot to love about this homemade granola recipe. It's easy to make, it's healthy, it's delicious, and it will make your kitchen smell amazing! Try making your own breakfast parfait with this tasty granola.
Preheat the oven to 150 C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the oats, walnuts, coconut flakes, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, cinnamon and salt. Drizzle in the coconut oil and honey and add the peanut butter. Stir until combined. Scoop the granola onto the baking sheet and press the mixture into a 2.5 cm thick oval. This will encourage clumping.
Bake for 15 minutes and then rotate the tray halfway using a fork to gently break the granola apart a little. Bake for another 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Keep checking as it browns quickly towards the end of the cooking cycle. Sprinkle with dried cranberries, chia and flax seeds. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.
I store the granola in an airtight container. It will last up to a month but mine never lasts that long!
Makes 8 half-cup servings
You can be creative with this recipe:
* Honey can be substituted for maple syrup or agave.
* Almond butter can be used instead of peanut butter.
* Almond flakes could be added or used instead of coconut flakes.
* Chocolate chips could also be added after cooking.
