Ingredients

  • 50 g Unsalted butter
  • tbsp Golden syrup
  • 2 tbs Honey
  • 70 g Raw sugar
  • 1 pinch Sea salt flakes
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 100 g Rolled oats
  • 50 g Pecans roughly chopped
  • 50 g Raw cashews
  • 50 g Flaked almonds
  • 75 g Shredded coconut
  • 25 g Pistachios
  • 25 g Dried cranberries

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 110° fan forced.
  • Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, syrups, sugar and salt. Mix until the sugar has melted, then stir through the vanilla
  • In a large bowl, combine the oats, pecans, cashews, almonds and coconut and cinnamon
  • Pour the melted butter mixture over the combined oat mixture, then stir with a spatula, until everything is well coated.
  • Spread mixture onto the prepared baking tray and bake for 20 minutes.
  • After 20 minutes, stir the granola on the tray so that it can cook evenly. Bake for another 20-25 minutes, until golden.
  • Remove tray from oven and tip granola onto your benchtop.
  • Mix through the pistachios and cranberries.
  • Allow to cool, then store in an airtight container

Notes

Tips and Tricks

  • For a clumpy granola, don't break it up as much during the cooking process.
  • Every oven bakes differently, so you may need to adjust the cooking time to suit (I always cook mine a little longer at home, but my oven at the beach seems to cook it faster)
  • The granola mixture will get crunchy as it cools, so don't be tempted to over-bake it

Serving Suggestions

  • Served with yogurt and Spiced Vanilla Poached Pears
  • Make a parfait with Breakfast Panna Cotta and fresh berries.
  • Add it to smoothies for extra sweetness and texture.
  • Sprinkle on top of smoothie bowls.
  • Keep it chunky and enjoy it as a healthy snack.
