Simone Neunzig
This simple coconut seed and nut vegan granola is a beautiful way to start the day. It’s packed with oats, almonds, pepitas, sunflower seeds and coconut with a smooth blend of maple syrup, cinnamon and coco
1/3Cdried coconut - desiccated, shredded or flakes
1/3Croughly chopped/processed almonds - I give mine a quick blitz in my mini food processor
Instructions
If using the oven, preheat the oven to 180C (350F). In a large mixing bowl, combine the oil, maple syrup, coconut cream, salt and cinnamon.
Add in the oats, pepitas, sunflower seeds, desiccated coconut and almonds. Combine well.
To cook: Oven - Spread the mixture out on a large baking tray and bake for 15 minutes, stirring halfway. OR Stovetop - Heat a frying pan/ skillet to medium heat and pour in the mixture. Stir continuously as you cook for 10 - 15 minutes, until the granola is golden and toasty.
Remove from the oven/ heat and let cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Serve with yogurt and seasonal fruit.
Notes
Ensure you allow the freshly toasted granola to cool completely before storing, otherwise it will lose its crispness. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week (or longer - ours never lasts that long).
