Crunchy Grain-Free Granola Recipe (With Nut-Free Version)

Crunchy Grain-Free Granola Recipe (With Nut-Free Version)

Want a nut-free granola? Swap out the mixed nuts for equal amounts pepitas, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, flaxseeds, or a mix of them all. The chia seeds and sesame seeds in this will give you a solid boost of calcium.

INGREDIENTS

• 3 tablespoon coconut oil, butter, or ghee
• 2 cups coconut flakes
• 2 cups unsalted nuts and/or seeds (mix it up with macadamias, walnuts or cashews. I like to do 1 cup cashews and 1 cup of mixed pepitas and sunflower seeds)
• 2 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
• ¼ cup honey
• ½ cup full-fat natural yoghurt or coconut yoghurt (to serve)

METHOD

Combine all the ingredients, except serving yoghurt, in a large bowl. Mix well to coat with honey. Transfer to the baking tray and spread evenly. Bake for about 20-25 minutes until golden, turning halfway through the cooking time. The darker it is, the crunchier it will be.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Store it in an airtight container in the pantry for cup to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for even longer.
