Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180C / 360F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Add the dry ingredients to a large bowl, then pour in the melted coconut oil and maple syrup. Stir very thoroughly so the oats are well coated in the wet ingredients.
  • Spread the mixture onto the baking tray in an even layer. Bake for 18-20 minutes, stirring halfway through. Watch for burning in the last few minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool before serving.

Notes

  • If the granola is going too brown on the top, you may wish to stir twice during the cook time rather than once.
  • Adjust the amount of cardamom to taste preference. This recipe has just a touch, but if you like spice then increase the quantity.
  • If you tolerate cinnamon, then you may wish to swap in and either leave out the cardamom or have as additional to it.
  • Please note that nutritional information is offered as a courtesy. It is auto-generated and should be understood to be an estimate.
