Nut Free Coconut Granola
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups gluten-free rolled oats
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp coconut sugar
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 3 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Preparation
Preheat oven to 160c
Add oats, coconut, seeds, coconut sugar and salt to a large bowl and stir to combine
Set aside
In a pan (large enough to fit the oats and coconut) add the coconut oil and maple syrup
Warm over a low heat for a couple of minutes, combining well
Take off the heat and mix in the vanilla
Add the oat and coconut mix
Combine well as it’s important it’s all well coated
Bake for 30 minutes stirring every ten minutes
Remove from the oven, break it up into chunks and bake for a final five minutes
Allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks at room temperature or in the freezer up to a month
If you find your granola loses its crunch, five minutes in the oven will get it back
Just watch is so it doesn’t burn
