Homemade Granola

I'm not a great fan of just oats, but love the consistency of all the nuts, seeds and dried fruit in this granola.

It's packed with goodness and is great with just plain yoghurt for breakfast or by itself as a healthy snack. 

For a more paleo version, simply omit the oats and add more seeds,nuts and coconut.  We are making more of the paleo version in my house now that my husband has made that lifestyle change and a container doesn't last long in my house.

INGREDIENTS

1 cup of porride oats
1 cup of jumbo oats
1 cup of sunflower seeds
1 cup of pumpkin seeds
2 tblsp of sesame seeds
1/4 cup of slice almonds
1/4 cup of walnuts
1/2 cup of hazel nuts
1/2 cup of shredded coconut
1/2 cup of honey
1/4 cup of coconut oil
1/2 cup of dried strawberries or other dried fruit 

METHOD
Preheat the oven to 140°C

 

Line a baking tray with baking paper and spread out the hazel nuts and coconut evenly and toast until golden.  Leave to cool completely and set aside.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, place the oats, seeds and remaining nuts and mix to combine.

 

Heat the oil and honey in a pan until combined, then removed from the heat and add to the oat mixture.  Stir well, then spread out on one or two baking sheets.

Bake for about 50 minutes until crisp, stirring occasionally to prevent the mixture sticking.

Remove from the oven and leave to cool.  Once cool, throw everything into a bowl and mix .  Store in an airtight container.
