Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats 270 g
- 1 cup pecans 100 g, roughly chopped
- ½ cup pepitas 70 g
- ½ cup almond meal (finely ground almonds) 50 g
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- 1/16 tsp Small pinch of allspice or cardamom 0.3 g, optional
- ½ tsp fine salt
- ¾ cup dried apple pieces 80 g, chopped small
- ⅓ cup maple syrup 80 ml
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil 60 ml
- 2–3 tbsp smooth almond butter 30–45 g
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Heat oven to 150°C fan / 300°F. Line a large tray with baking paper.
- Mix oats, pecans, pepitas, almond meal, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice/cardamom and salt in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together maple syrup, melted coconut oil, almond butter and vanilla until fully combined.
- Pour the wet mix over the oats and stir until everything is glossy and evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture over the tray and press down firmly so it bakes into clusters.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Rotate the tray, press again lightly to keep clusters intact, and bake 10–15 minutes more until golden at the edges and dry to the touch.
- Let the tray cool completely without stirring. Do not touch until fully cool and crisp.
- Sprinkle dried apple over the cooled granola and break into chunky clusters.
