There is something very therapeutic about something slowly toasting away and stiring it every so often. Watching the transformation from oats to a delicious granola is exciting! (I need a life dont I!?!)

Apple Cinnamon Granola
Ingredients
Scale
- 750g oats
- 200g almonds
- 100g pepitas
- 200g sunflower kernals
- 200g shredded coconut
- 50g sesame seeds
- 60g flaxseed meal
- 200g diced dried apple
- 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 100g of coconut oil
- 200g apple purรฉe
- 40g maple syrup
- 1 heaped teaspoon of vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
- Place almonds into bowl and blitz on speed 5 until slightly crushed. This is to taste.
- In a large dish combine cinnamon, oats, almonds, pepitas and sunflower kernals.
- In the bowl add oil, vanilla, apple purรฉe and maple syrup.
- Mix at 50 degrees, speed 2 until melted. This shouldnโt take too long.
- Pour the oil mix over the oat mixture. Use hands or spoon to mix well.
- Spread mixture across two large ovenproof dishes or trays lined with baking paper.
- Place into the oven. I had to cook mine for 45 minutes to get a nice golden colour โ you might like more or less colour. The trick is to just watch it. Stir the mixture every 10 minutes or so to avoid any burnt bits.
- Once almost done, add the coconut and sesame seeds. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until coconut is slightly toasted.
- Remove from oven. Add flaxseed meal and dried apple to mixture. Combine well.
- Once cool, store in a jar or airtight container.
Just curious with this Granola, do you serve with milk or yoghurt? Or just as it is? I have never had Granola but it sounds tasty and I would love to start my day with something like this!
With either ๐
Or I turn it into cookies (on the blog also)
This sounds stupid, but do you use rolled oats or quick oats??
I have both in the pantry and dont want to use the wrong one…
Thanks!
Rolled/traditional ๐
Peta where do you get your coconut oil? I haven’t been able to find it in the supermarket.
I buy from Costco.
This is the brand I buy. I highly recommend Organics On A Budget if you buy online ๐ http://www.organicsonabudget.com.au/absolute-organic-extra-virgin-coconut-oil-glass-jar-900g/#aid=1815 (aff link)
Thanks Peta, I will check that out.
Hi Peta, I was wondering what type of vanilla you use. Is it powder, paste, sugar or essence?
Paste or extract ๐
WOW. Sensational. Just made this, with a few adjustments because of ingredients. I also added some chia seeds and macca powder. Couldn’t wait for breakfast, just had a bowl for lunch, and it is delicious. Miss14 said it smells amazing. Thanks for the recipe.
But of a labour of love all the stirring and turning but I will use a higher pan next time. It makes heaps though, I only made a half batch for the breakfast bar recipe and still heaps but smells delicious. Going to have some with yoghurt for brekky tomorrow! Thanks Peta
