Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup raw nuts and seeds. (I used cashews, pumpkin and sunflower seeds)
  • 1/2 cup raw honey or maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup dried fruit (E.g raisins, cranberries, apricots,mango etc)
  • 1/2 tsp spice powder (E.g cinnamon, cardamom or nutmeg)
  • 1/3 cup olive oil extra virgin
  • 1/3 cup dried coconut flakes

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 170 degrees C. Line a large baking try with baking/parchment paper
  • Mix the oats, nuts, seeds and spice powder together.
  • To this mixture, add the olive oil, sweetener (honey/maple syrup) and combine together until its all well coated.
  • Spread the mixture out on the baking try in an even layer and bake in the oven for 30 minutes, stirring once at 15 minutes. Bake until golden brown.
    (Use 2 trays if the mixture is too thick as it won't brown evenly.)
  • At the midway point, take the granola out, add the coconut flakes and stir well before returning to the oven for a further 15 minutes.
  • Add dried fruit to the granola 10 minutes after removing from the oven. Wait until completely cool before storing in an airtight container.
