Everyday Granola

This is such a versatile granola. Add chocolate chips, freeze dried strawberries, dried fruit. Really, the list is endless!

I always double the recipe and keep half to eat now and half in the freezer for later.

Homemade granola is a simpler and healthier option compared to store bought brands. Mix and match your ingredients to switch it up and you'll never get bored! My favourite? Top with fresh blueberries and yoghurt.

Ingredients

• 4 cups rolled oats
• ¾ cup slivered almonds
• 1 ½ cups cashews
• ¼ cup pepitas
• ¼ cup raw sunflower seeds
• ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• ¼ cup oat flour
• ¼ cup hemp hearts
• ¼-½ cup dried cranberries
• ¾ tsp cinnamon
• ¾ tsp salt
• ⅛ cup (35 g) cashew butter
• ½ cup (250 ml) maple syrup
• ⅓ cup (80 ml) coconut oil, melted

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
2. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients: rolled oats through salt.
4. In a microwaveable safe container, mix cashew butter, maple syrup and coconut oil until melted and able to easily whisk to combine. (about 45 seconds)
5. Pour liquid over dry ingredients and mix. Don't worry if it looks too dry at first, keep stirring to coat evenly.
6. Tip granola mixture onto parchment lined baking tray. I prefer to lightly press my granola down using a fondant smoother in order to get some big granola clusters but it's entirely preference.
7. Bake for 20 minutes. Flip tray around in oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes until light golden brown. Remove from oven and let granola cool before removing.
8. Break granola up into whatever size pieces you want. Store in airtight container or freeze.

Notes

Nut butters: You can really replace the cashew butter to whatever you have on hand. Typically, I alternate between peanut butter and cashew butter but it's all to do with your preference of taste.

Sweeteners: Honey also works well here if you prefer a sweeter granola compared to maple syrup.

Dried Fruits: Substitute dried cranberries for raisins or whatever your heart desires.

Nuts: Who says you only need two kinds? Or even cashews and almonds? Mix it up and give some pecans or walnuts a go.
