I have a weakness for granola. Especially when it is mixed in with yogourt and berries it makes such a nice summer breakfast. This is my attempt to create a healthier version of one of my classic faves.
3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
1 cup pecans, chopped
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup cashews, chopped
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/3 cup coconut palm sugar
1/4 coconut oil, softened
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup honey, softened
1 tsp salt
Preheat oven to 250 F
In a large bowl combine oats, nuts, seeds, coconut and sugar.
In a separate bowl stir together coconut oil, maple syrup, honey and salt. (It will settle if it sits)
Slowly add the liquid ingredients to the dry, stirring until well combined.
Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 60 minutes. Stir every 15 minutes to ensure even colouring.
While it is cooling, stir several times so it does not stick together. Store in an airtight container.
