serves: 1 large batch | time: 30 mins | Gluten-free
Ingredients:
-
- 2 cups Good Morning Cereals Quinoa Puffs
- 2 cups Flannerys bulk food nuts and seeds of choice (I chose pecans, almonds, coconut flakes and pumpkin seeds)
- 1/2 cup Flannerys bulk food dried fruit of choice (I chose sultanas and tart cherries)
- 1/3 cup cacao nibs
- 4 tbsp Flannerys cacao powder
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- ½ cup Honest to Goodness maple syrup
- ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp Celtic sea salt
Method:
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and stir well until everything is completely coated.
- Pour mixture onto baking tray and spread out into an even layer.
- Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Cooking time will depend on your tray size. If you use a large tray and your granola is spread out, it will likely take less time. If you have a thick layer of granola, it may need the full 25 minutes.
- Once cooked, set aside on bench until completely cooked. Once cooled, granola will become crunchy. Store in a large airtight jar.
