Ingredients
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 cup (200 g) rolled oats (porridge oats, 2 cups = 200 g)
- 4 tbsp almonds
- 5 tbsp pumpkin seeds (5 tbsp = 50 g)
- 1 ½ tsp ginger powder
- 2 tbsp maple syrup (add a third if you’re feeling naughty)
- 1 pinch salt
Optional:
- 2 tbsp grated coconut (for the extra coconutty flavour; we usually serve one bowl’s worth with about 4 tbsp of soy yogurt or milk)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 150°C/300°F.
- Chop the almonds into little pieces.
- In a large baking tray, spread the oil out evenly with an oil brush or a piece of kitchen paper.
- Put the oatmeal, almonds, pumpkin seeds in the tray. Add ginger powder and a pinch of salt. Mix it all in.
- Bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Stir once or twice in between.
- After 30 minutes, add the maple syrup.
- Bake for another 25 minutes. Stir once or twice in between.
- Once it’s done, let it cool down just a bit before you transfer it to a container. Let it cool in the container before you close it off.
- If you wait too long taking the granola out of the tray, the maple syrup will stick to it. If that’s the case: just pop it back in the oven for another 5 mins or so!
- Done!
