Ingredients:
1 Cup (50g) – Kellogg’s Bran Sticks
1 Cup (100g) – Rolled Oats (I use Gluten Free)
1/4 Cup (25g) – Oats Flour or Almond Flour (25g)
1/4 Cup (35g) – Unsalted Peanuts
1/4 Cup (25g) – Dried Banana Chips
3 Tbsp. (35g) – Mixed Seeds (I use Flax, Sesame, Sunflower and Pumpkin)
3 Tbsp. (45ml) – Honey or Maple Syrup
1 Tbsp. (15ml) – Coconut Oil, melted
1 tsp (5ml) – Vanilla Essence
Method:
• Preheat oven to 160˚C/320˚F.
• Mix all the dry ingredients together with a spoon.
• Heat the honey, coconut oil and vanilla essence for a few seconds in the microwave. You only want it runny, not boiling, so 5 – 10 seconds should be sufficient.
• Pour honey mixture over the rolled oats mixture and mix well.
• Line a baking tray with parchment paper and spread the granola evenly all across the lined baking tray.
• Bake for 15 minutes then scrape the granola loose, ensuring that it can bake on all sides. I use a big chef’s knife but any knife will do.
• Return to oven and bake a further 10 minutes. You might want to keep an eye on it so it doesn’t turn too brown, each oven is different.
• Remove and scrape once more with the knife and leave it to cool down.
• Once cooled down it will be light and crispy, full of aroma and ready to enjoy.
Notes:
• I make my own Oats flour by using my little coffee grinder, it turns the rolled oats into a nice flour form. You can also use a food processor.
