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

Method
 

  1. Pre-heat oven to 170 degrees C. Line a large baking try with baking/parchment paper
  2. Mix the oats, nuts, seeds and spice powder together.
  3. To this mixture, add the olive oil, sweetener (honey/maple syrup) and combine together until its all well coated.
  4. 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.)
  5. 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.
  6. Add dried fruit to the granola 10 minutes after removing from the oven. Wait until completely cool before storing in an airtight container.
