Equipment

Ingredients

  • 160 g Rolled Oats
  • 35 g Desiccated Coconut (optional)
  • 25 g Sunflower Seeds or Pumpkin Seeds
  • 1 tbsp Flaxseeds
  • 30 g Unsweetened Spelt Puffs or Popped Amaranth or Quinoa (optional)
  • 45 g Soft Brown Sugar *Not Granulated Sugar*
  • 80 g Coconut Butter or Olive Oil
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 115 ml Maple Syrup or Agave Nectar or Date Syrup
  • 120 g Tahini

Additional Ingredients

  • 30 g Banana Chips
  • 40 g Dried Blueberries

Instructions

  • To begin, preheat the oven to 170°C/350°F.
  • Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Place the rolled oats in a large bowl.
  • Add the desiccated coconut, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds and spelt puffs.
  • Stir the dry ingredients thoroughly and set aside.
  • In another mixing bowl, add the soft brown sugar, coconut butter, vanilla extract, maple syrup and tahini.
  • Whisk the ingredients thoroughly to create a smooth mixture.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
  • Stir until completely combined. The mixture should almost resemble a flapjack! This texture is ideal so that clusters of granola can be formed and crumbled apart later.
  • Tip all the granola mixture onto the prepared baking tray and spread out evenly.
  • Bake the granola in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until it is golden brown. Every 5 minutes you should remove the granola from the oven and give it a good stir before placing back in the oven. This is to ensure the granola doesn’t burn and creates an even bake.
  • Once baked, remove the granola from the oven and allow it cool completely.
  • While the granola cools, carefully stir and break up the granola into chunks and clusters every five minutes or so. The granola will harden as it cools, so you’re better to do this while the granola is still in the cooling phase. Take care as it might be quite hot at first.
  • Add any nuts or dried fruit of your choice. I’ll be adding in banana chips and dried blueberries. Stir together until all your additional ingredients are well dispersed.
  • Serve with your favourite plant-based milk! Enjoy!

Notes

Store the granola in an airtight jar and consume within 2 weeks.
