Ingredients
- 3 tbsp Cacao powder
- 100 g Chia Seeds mixed with pumpkin, sunflower, sesame seeds
- 120 g Coconut Oil or sunflower oil
- 50 g Desiccated Coconut or flaked coconut
- 50 g Flaked Almonds or any roughly chopped nut
- 50 g Goji Berries
- 50 g Ground Flaxseeds optional
- 120 g Maple Syrup
- 400 g Rolled Oats or rolled quinoa flakes for a grain-free option
- 1 pinch Sea Salt
- 80 g SuperValu Dried Fruit
Method
- Preheat the oven to 140°C/gas mark 1.
- Mix the oats, seeds, almonds, coconut and a pinch of salt in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl or jug, whisk the maple syrup and oil together. If you’re using coconut oil, you’ll need to melt it first. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
- Spread the granola in an even layer in a shallow baking tray. Bake in the oven for about 1 hour, though you can bake it for a little longer if you prefer more crunch.
- While the granola is baking, put the dried fruit, goji berries, ground flaxseeds (if using) and cacao powder in a bowl and mix together.
- Allow the granola to cool before transferring to a large mixing bowl and stirring in the dried fruit and cacao mixture.
- Store in a large airtight container or Kilner jar for up to a month. Goes great with milk or yogurt of your choice as a healthy snack throughout the day.
