Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Baking Sheet
- Oven
- Glass Jar or Storage Container
Ingredients
- 170g (2 cups) Grainy Oat Flakes
- 60g (1/3 cup) Puffed Quinoa or Amaranth (optional) – You can also use more oats instead.
- 75g (2/3 cup) Chopped Almonds
- 75g (2/3 cup) Chopped Cashews
- 75g (2/3 cup) Chopped Walnuts
- 75g (2/3 cup) Chopped Hazelnuts
- 45g (1/3 cup) Pumpkin Seeds
- 45g (1/3 cup) Flax Seeds
- 80g (3/4 cup) Cranberries or Raisins (whether you prefer)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 4 tbsp Coconut Oil
- 100g (1/3 cup) Maple Syrup, Honey or Rice Syrup
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2
Toss the oats, popped quinoa or amaranth, almonds, cashews, walnuts, hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, raisins and salt in a large bowl and stir equally.
3
Add the maple syrup and melted coconut oil and stir to combine. Make sure all of the ingredients are moistened.
4
Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until the granola is golden brown. (It could also take a bit longer, which depends on your oven).
5
Allow the granola to cool completely – the air will help the granola to obtain a crunchy texture.
Notes
- Nuts: I used a mix of whole and sliced almonds. You can use both or either, whatever you like.
- Make-Ahead Instructions: Granola is the perfect recipe to make ahead because it stays fresh for so long. Store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 weeks. Even better than containers are glass jars – they are not just airtight but also really beautiful. Besides storing your granola, you can use them to decorate your kitchen or to give away your homemade granola as a gift.
My Recommendation
Here are some beautiful jars, storages boxes and mixing bowls I found on Amazon that you can use to store your self-made granola.
