Recipe type: Breakfast / Snack / Dessert
Serves: 7 cups
Ingredients
  • ½ cup butter or coconut oil (or a combo of both - or some applesauce)
  • ¼ cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1.5 cups dry shredded or flaked coconut (unsweetened, no sulphites)
  • 1 cup whole pecans (or your choice of nut)
  • 1 cup whole of sliced almonds (or your choice of nut)
  • 1 cup pumpkin seeds (or your choice of seed)
  • 1 cup dry currents (or your choice of dried fruit, cut into small pieces if necessary)
  • ½ cup dry goji berries
  • 1 cup oats (or a wheat-free, unsweetened cereal)
  • Optional: 1 tsp vanilla, 1 tsp cinnamon, or 1 tsp grated fresh ginger root
Instructions
  1. In a small pot, melt butter or coconut oil on low heat. Add sugar and syrup. Stir.
  2. In a separate large bowl, mix together dry 'stuff' (as listed above, or your own combination totaling 7 cups).
  3. Add melted liquid ingredients to bowl of ‘stuff’; mix, then spread mixture onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper (so it doesn’t stick).
  4. I like to spread mine kind of thick (about 2 cm) so that the granola sticks in big clumps/bars, but you can spread it thinner for a more crumbly granola.
  5. Bake about 30-35 min at 300. Take out and leave it to cool on the pan. Once cool, crumble/cut as you like...
  6. Keeps well in air-tight Tupperware or resealable bag for a week or two. Enjoy!
