Description
This healthy granola with dried fruit and coconut is seriously amazing. It's great on its own, with some soy milk, or eaten on top of yogurt. Made with date syrup, it's naturally less sweet and more healthy than many store-bought granolas.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/3 cup sunflower kernels
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed meal
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 cup liquid coconut oil
- 1/4 cup date syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-Ins
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup dried apricots, finely diced
- 1/4 cup dried apple, finely diced
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat: Preheat oven to 180° C or 350° F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Granola: In a medium bowl, combine oats, sunflower kernels, flaxseed meal, salt, cinnamon, ginger, liquid coconut oil, date syrup, and vanilla extract. It will be slightly-sticky, so you want to make sure you mix well to ensure all the spices are well-distributed.
- Bake: Spread granola mixture evenly along the parchment lined baking tray. Ensure everything is spread in an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the tops of the oats begin to turn golden-brown and the spices are aromatic.
- Cool: Remove the baking tray from the oven, and let it cool for 45 minutes. If you have a wire rack, you can place the baking tray on the rack to improve the circulation of air around the granola.
- Add-Ins: Once the granola is completely cooled, stir through our add-ins. This granola can be stored for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.
