Super Granola // Good Food

Originally found in our amazing cookbook The Green Kitchen, this super-scrummy granola is a staple in our house. We have tweaked the original recipe to our own taste over the years, and tend to make this every fortnight. Packed full of super, raw ingredients, it is a breakfast that brings together superb taste with superb good-for-you ingredients. A match made in heaven!

Basic Ingredients
175g rolled oats
175g rolled rye or spelt
150g almonds (either whole or flaked)
40g coconut flakes

50g sunflower seeds
50g pumpkin seeds
1 tsp cinnamon (or nutmeg)

Liquid Ingredients
2 tbspn maple syrup
2 tbspn melted coconut oil
1 tbspn water

Dried Superfood
80g dried cranberries

Special Extra
100g dark chocolate (broken into small pieces)

Method

Preheat the oven to 180 C and line a baking tray with baking paper.

Combine all of the Basic Ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Pour in the Liquid Ingredients and use your hand to toss until everything is well combined.

Spread mixture out in the baking tray and roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon a couple of times during cooking to keep it from getting burnt.

Remove from oven and leave to cool before adding the Dried Superfood (and the Special Extra if using). Store in a sealed glass jar at room temperature. Keeps for at least a month.

Goes particularly well with coconut yoghurt.
