Healthy paleo granola
This is one of our most popular recipes and is a non-negotiable staple in our households. We eat this for breakfast, snack time, afternoon tea, after dinner or any time that we have a hankering for something a little sweet… this is a sweet treat that you can enjoy knowing that these ingredients are doing you good…. while tasting ah-mazing! Come on….. you know you want to 😉
INGREDIENTS
2-3 cups coconut chips,
1 cup shredded coconut,
1 1/2 cups mixed nuts and seeds, chopped (use your favourite combo – ours is pecan,almonds, pepitas and sunflower seeds!),
2 tbsn chia seeds,
2 tbsn sesame seeds,
½ cup melted coconut oil,
3 tbsn rice malt syrup,
3-4 tbsp cacao (optional).
METHOD
Combine ingredients well and spread evenly onto a baking tray. Bake for 10-15 mins in a low oven (140 degrees) until golden. Stir during cooking time. Keep an eye on it as it can burn quickly (trust us on this one!). Allow to cool. Once cool, you can add any extras that you like – we love goji berries and cacao nibs… but the world is your oyster here!
Store in the fridge and serve 2-3 tbsn at a time, as a topper to natural yoghurt or munch on its own!
For a complete breakfast, add a green smoothie and you have covered off all your nutritional bases! Just the way we like it….
