Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 cups oats
  • ½ cup coconut oil melted
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • cup pumpkin seeds
  • cup coconut flakes
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamom optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 150C / 300F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine the dry ingredients of oats, pumpkin seeds and cinnamon (not the coconut flakes) in a large bowl and mix together.
  • Add the wet ingredients of the oil and syrup into the bowl and stir very thoroughly so that all the oats and seeds are well coated.
  • Spread the mixture evenly in a thin layer on the parchment paper and let bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the granola mixture from the oven, sprinkle in the coconut flakes and give it a good stir. Spread out to an even layer again and return to the oven for 5-10 minutes. At this point keep an eye on it as granola can go from perfectly golden brown to burnt rather quickly!
  • Allow to cool, then use a wooden spoon to add to your breakfast bowl!

Notes

  • Be sure to use melted coconut oil if using. It won't combine if still more solid in texture.
  • The mixture needs to be very well combined so all the oats are coated in the oil and syrup.
  • Spread the granola in an even layer so it cooks evenly, and to prevent burning.
  • Pressing the granola down when it is in a layer on the baking tray helps it to form clusters.
  • Always watch the granola after 15 minutes for any signs of burning - it can turn fast!
