INGREDIENTS

2.5 cups rolled oats

1/2 cup coconut oil, melted

2 tbsp runny honey

Cinnamon

A pinch of salt

OPTIONAL ADDITIONS

Chopped almonds (or any other chopped nut)

Coconut flakes/Desiccated coconut

Dark chocolate bits (add these once the granola has completely cooled)

Sunflower seeds

Flax seeds

Raisins/goji berries/dried fruit (add these once the granola has completely cooled)

METHOD

1. Preheat oven to 145ºC fan and prep a baking tray with a sheet of greaseproof paper.

2. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, cinnamon and salt. TIP: You can add as much cinnamon as you like – I like it quite cinnamon-y so I add about 1-2 tbsp.

3. Add in the coconut oil and mix until well combined. Then add in the honey and mix again, making sure there aren't any lumps of oats and honey stuck together.

4. Once everything is mixed, pour the oats onto the baking tray and spread it out evenly.

5. Bake for 13-14 minutes (no longer than this or you'll burn the granola!), then allow the granola to cool completely before transferring to a sealed jar or container. The granola should keep for about 2 weeks at room temperature.
