Lokamo's Simple Granola Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 cup mixed nuts (almonds, cashews and hazelnuts, or your preference), roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, or a mix)
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- Sprinkle sea salt to taste
- 1/2 cup chopped dates (cranberries, raisins, apricots of your choice are also good)
Instructions:
- Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, mixed nuts, seeds, and shredded coconut.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until the oat mixture is evenly coated.
- Spread on Baking Sheet:
- Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down slightly to create a uniform layer.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the granola is golden brown, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Add Dried Fruits:
- Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool slightly. Once cooled, stir in the dried fruits.
- Final Touch:
- Allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will continue to crisp up as it cools.
- Store:
- Once completely cooled, transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage.
- Enjoy:
- Serve Lokamo's simple granola with your favourite yogurt, milk, or as a topping for smoothie bowls. Enjoy the delightful crunch and flavour of your homemade creation!
