This is a super simple granola recipe, quick to make, and easy to adapt depending on what you have in your kitchen.
Nothing too fancy, but a quite nice staple to have on our breakfast shelf.
INGREDIENTS
140g rolled oats ( I sometimes use mixed grain flakes, such as rye, rice, quinoa…)
65g almonds (or any mix of nuts)
70g sunflower seeds ( can add pumpkin or other seeds of your liking)
25g chia seeds
1\8 tsp salt
35g coconut oil
100g maple syrup
OPTIONAL: Feel free to use spices of your liking, such as cinnamon, cardamom, or even a little cacao powder for a chocolaty twist.
METHOD
Preheat the oven at 160°.
In a bowl add oats, almonds, chia seeds, and sunflower seeds.
In a pot on low heat melt coconut oil with maple. Pour all liquids over the dry ingredients, and mix to combine. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow all the ingredients to soak up the wet, then transfer to a tray and to the oven.
Spread nicely then bake at 160C for 25 minutes. Remember to stir the granola halfway through moving the edges towards the center as the granola on the sides of the tray will bake faster.
When golden take it out and without touching it let it cool completely. This will allow it to stick together a little.
Transfer to a jar and enjoy.
NOTE: I like to keep it simple, but once cooled down if you want you could also add some dry fruit or berries.
- Apricot, dates or raisins
- Goji berries, cranberries, mulberries
