Calories: 484.5kcal
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup mixed nuts eg. almonds, cashews, pecans, etc.
- 2 tablespoon mixed seeds sunflower seeds, chia seeds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds etc.
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder or cardamom, saffron etc.
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- a pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- ¼ cup nut butter peanut butter, almond butter or sunflower seed butter etc
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1 egg white whisked (optional but recommended)
Stir-in
- 1 cup dried fruits eg. dates, berries, goji berries, cranberries, raisins, apricots, etc.
- ½ cup chocolate chips or cinnamon chips (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the granola mixture
- Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- Mix all the wet ingredients in another bowl.
- Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until every grain is coated. Taste and adjust the sweetness and spice.
Microwave the granola mix
- Spread on a microwavable pan and microwave for 2 minutes on full power 100%. Open and stir the mixture and microwave again for 2 minutes and repeat this 4 to 5 times (up to 10 minutes) Now, every oven is different so you may not need 10 minutes or maybe more than 10 minutes depending on your microwave model. Granola would start to change colour to golden brown but will still be soft. It will get crispy only once cooled completely.
Cool the microwaved granola
- Remove from the microwave and transfer the hot granola to another wider pan to cool it down faster and prevent any burning from residue heat in the pan.
Stir in the add-ins and store
- Once cooled, stir in the dried fruits and/or chocolate chips. Store in an airtight container and you may keep it in a freezer. Serve with yoghurt or milk or eat as is!
