25-30 minutes grain-free granola packed with seeds and nuts (sweetened with maple syrup). Plenty of fibre, potassium, healthy fats, calcium, iron, with some carbs and protein.
150g almond flakes/chopped almonds
85g raw pecans (chopped/whole)
50g raw walnuts (chopped/whole)
50g chia seeds
25g pistachio nuts/macadamian nuts (optional)
20g pumpkin seeds (whole/chopped)
30g sesame seeds
20g sunflower seeds
50g hemp seeds (hulled)
40g quinoa (optional)
25g flaxseed
60ml coconut/olive oil
70/75ml maple syrup
Preheat oven to 150- 160c and position rack in centre of oven; in a large bowl, combine the nuts and seeds; in a small saucepan over low heat, warm the oil and maple syrup and mix into the nuts and seeds; spread the mixture evenly onto a large baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes; keep checking every 10 minutes to ensure its not baking too fast or burning; when its ready, remove from oven and let it cool on tray; store in an air-tight container and it will keep for a few weeks.
Note: the coconut oil helps the granola crisp up nicely - I use Cocopacific from Amazon as its odourless.
Note: a quarter cup as part of your breakfast is enough (enjoy dry or mix in coconut kefir yoghurt).
