Maple Cinnamon Granola

Cut sugary breakfast cereals out in favour of this granola

“Most cereals in supermarkets are ultra-processed, so making your own granola is a good alternative option that is similar to cereal,” says nutritionist Delicia Bale, author of new cookbook, Unprocessed Made Easy.

“I like to serve mine with yogurt or milk and berries, and you can also use this granola as a topping for other breakfasts.”

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 170ºC.

2. Mix together the oats, flaked almonds, hazelnuts, pecans, desiccated coconut, pumpkin seeds, coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon and salt until well combined.

3. Spread the mixture evenly onto a lined baking sheet (you may need to split it between two sheets as if it is too thick, it won’t cook all the way through).

4. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the granola is slightly golden.

5. Leave to cool for around 30 minutes, then break into pieces.
