Autumn Granola

Ingredients

• 300 g rolled oats
• 100 g almonds, chopped
• 100 g pecans, chopped
• 50 g pumpkin seeds
• 50 g sunflower seeds
• 80 ml coconut oil, melted
• 60 ml honey
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp nutmeg
• ¼ tsp ginger powder
• ½ tsp sea salt
• 75 g dried cranberries
• 75 g dried apricots, chopped
• 50 g raisins

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine oats, almonds, pecans, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together melted coconut oil and honey until smooth.
4. Add cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger powder, and sea salt to the oil mixture and stir well.
5. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until all oats and nuts are evenly coated.
6. Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a thin layer.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally (every 8-10 minutes) to ensure even toasting and prevent burning.
8. Remove from oven when granola is golden brown and fragrant. Let cool completely on the baking sheet for 10 minutes (it will crisp up as it cools).
9. Transfer cooled granola to a bowl and mix in dried cranberries, apricots, and raisins.
10. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Serve with yogurt, milk, or eat as a snack.
