I love Granola.  It is one of my favourite breakfasts.  I love the sweet comforting crunchiness.  It’s a great topping for fruit, yoghurt, chia seeds or just a handful out of the jar as a little snack.  A word of warning though – it’s addictive 

 

Ingredients

 

3 cups organic oats

1 cups coconut flakes

½ cup chia seeds

1 cup nuts of choice (flaked almonds, chopped pecans or chopped hazlenuts)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

8 teaspoons maple syrup or coconut palm syrup

 

Method

 

Mix together all the dry ingredients.  Mix together the vanilla extract with the syrup and add to the dry ingredients.  I like to use my hands now and massage all the ingredients together until completely combined.  Spread out onto baking parchment and use either a dehydrator or a very low oven (50 degrees centigrade) until dry.  Store in an airtight glass jar.
