Apricot and Coconut Granola


  • Author: The road to loving my Thermo Mixer
  • Total Time: 50

Ingredients

Scale
  • 750g oats
  • 100g pepitas
  • 200g sunflower kernals
  • 200g shaved or moist flake coconut
  • 50g flaxseed meal
  • 50g chia seeds
  • 200g dried apricots, diced
  • 2 tablespoons ground saigon cinnamon (Saigon gives a sweeter flavour)
  • 100g of coconut oil
  • 150g apricot purée
  • 2 tablespoons of honey
  • 1 tablespoon of vanilla bean paste or 1/2 tablespoon of essence/extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
  2. In a large dish combine cinnamon, oats, pepitas and sunflower kernals.
  3. In the tmx bowl add oil, vanilla, purée and honey.
  4. Mix at 50 degrees, speed 2 until melted. This shouldn’t take too long.
  5. Pour the oil mix over the oat mixture. Use hands or spoon to mix well.
  6. Spread mixture across two large ovenproof dishes or trays lined with baking paper.
  7. Place into the oven. I had to cook mine for 45 minutes to get a nice golden colour – 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.
  8. Once almost done, add the coconut. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until coconut is slightly toasted.
  9. Remove from oven. Add flaxseed meal, chia seeds and dried apricot to mixture. Combine well.
  10. Once cool, store in a jar or airtight container.
