Who doesn’t love a yummy bowl of crunchy granola!! I love mine with a dash of almond milk or sprinkled over some yoghurt or porridge. A lot of granola are loaded with sugar to sweeten them up. This recipe contains honey, which is a natural sweetener and binds all the ingredient together. Stevia can also be used if desired and contains only 2 kcal per teaspoon!!

Granola is a good source of healthy fats that are found in the nuts. Oats are high in fibre and a low GI food which means a steady release of energy.

Here’s my take on a healthy granola, let me know if you try it out!!

Ingredients:

• 150g porridge oats (I used flahavan’s 100% whole grain, organic oats)
• 40g walnuts
• 40g almonds (I used flaked but you can also used whole almonds)
• 40g sesame seeds
• 40g dates
• 1tbsp dessicated coconut
• 1 tbsp milled flaxseed
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp Coconut oil (melted)
• 2tsp granulated stevia (optional)
• 2 tsp cinnamon

Method:

• Preheat oven to 160 deg c
• Add all nuts & dessicated coconut to a roasting tin

• Sprinkle with cinnamon, flaxseed, stevia & stir
• Drizzle with honey & coconut oil
• Bake in the oven for 35 minutes until golden brown, stirring half way through
• Remove from the oven and sprinkle with dates
• Allow to cool
• Store in a preserving jar or air tight container

Contains ~6  breakfast bowl servings

Enjoy,
