Yesterday it was the first time I’ve made granola, and I must say it’s much better than the one I used to buy. I made 5 cups, so it will last for a while. Now each morning I can choose if I want to have it with a juice, milk or just spread over a yogurt. I was surprised how easy it was to prepare. Check it yourself!
What you need:
- 3 cups oats
- 1 cup coconut, toasted
- 1 cup nuts, chopped
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- ½ cup olive oil
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground cardamom
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
Preheat oven to 150 C
First we need to prepare coconut, so spread it over the baking paper (you can use two layers) and toast in the oven for about 7 minutes. It’s ready when coconut turns a bit tan (not all of it will, so keep observing and don’t burn it, as it’s very easy).
In a large bowl mix the oats, nuts, spices, salt and sugar. Then slowly add oil and syrup, stir until everything is equally coated.
Spread the granola in a single layer on two nonstick baking sheets. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring every ten minutes.
Once golden, take the granola out to let it cool. After you toss it with the toasted coconut it’s ready to eat!
Enjoy! Marta
