Ingredients




Makes one medium container of granola
2 and a 1/2 cups of ‪oats‬
1 cup of ‪walnuts‬
1 cup of ‪almonds‬ ( or any other nut you feel like)
1 cup of ‪flaxseeds‬
1/2 cup of ‪pumpkin‬ seeds
Raisins‬ (amount to taste)
Coconut flakes
3 tablespoons of coconut oil
3 tablespoons of ‪honey‬

Preparation

1 Place the walnuts and almonds in a food processor and pulse until they are partly crushed. Then add them to a mixing bowl with the following dry ingredients: oats, flax seeds and pumpkin seeds. 2 Next, melt the coconut oil with the honey in a pan, once it has dissolved into a sweet liquid add it to the dry bowl and mix well. 3 Place everything onto a baking tray and bake for about 20-30 minutes at 180C, until it's crunchy. During this time you’ll need to stir the mixture every 5 minutes so that it doesn't burn. Be careful, it burns easily! 4 Once cooked, add the raisins  and coconut flakes, allow to cool. Finally, store the granola in an air-tight container and enjoy.

About

When I lived in Brighton, i could always find different granola flavours and combinations, it was like heaven... but when I came back to Spain, I had hardly any option to choose from and they were all full of ridiculously high sugar levels, so that is why I have decided to try my own version of homemade granola. After wandering on the internet and thinking through the possibilities of how to make one of my all time favourites, I came up with the following combo. I hope you enjoy it & please do give it a try.
