Grain-Free Granola with Autumn Spices
Ingredients
- 1 cup desiccated coconut
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1 1/2 cup pecans
- 3 tbsp ground flax or hemp (I used @yumandyay_)
- 3 tbsp coco flour
- Large pinch salt
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp ginger
- 2.5 tbsp vegan butter or coco oil, melted
- 2 tbsp Apple puree
- 3 tbsp maple syrup @clarks_it - can add more if needed
- 1 tsp vanilla
- Dark choc chips (to serve)
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 170C, then line a baking tray.
In a blender pulse together the nuts and coconut until it breaks down - leave a few chunks for texture!
Tip into a mixing bowl and stir in remaining ingredients (and more oil for a chunkier texture) until the mixture sticks together.
Place on baking tray and bake for 13 minutes, then stir and lower oven to 150. Continue to cook for 9 mins, then turn off the oven, open the oven door and allow the granola to cool in the oven - this helps it to crisp up. Store in an airtight container and stir through choc chips once cool.
