Delicious Granola Recipe

This delicious, nutrient dense granola recipe is lower in sugar than shop bought granolas and gluten free.

Ingredients

• 1 cup of oats
• 1 cup of puffed buckwheat
• 1 cup of puffed quinoa or quinoa flakes
• 1 cup of pumpkin seeds
• 1 cup of chopped walnuts
• 1 cup of chopped apricots (can also use chopped apple)
• 1 cup goji berries (or choose another berry of your choice e.g. blueberries, sliced strawberries)
• 1 cup of coconut flakes (or desiccated coconut)
• 3 tablespoons of coconut oil 
• 2-3 tablespoons of maple syrup (depending upon how sweet you like it)

Directions

1. Pre-heat the oven to its lowest setting normally around 50C,
2. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper,
3. Mix all the ingredients minus the coconut oil (needs to be liquid so heat beforehand if necessary) and maple syrup in a large bowl,
4. When well combined add the coconut oil and maple syrup and mix through until evenly covered,
5. Spread the granola over the two baking trays and place in the oven  for a minimum of 4 hours. I generally take the granola out after 4-5 hours but you may want to keep it in for longer to make it crunchier.
6. Store in glass air tight containers somewhere cool and dry.
