- 200 grams (2 cups) rolled oats
- 80 grams (½ cup) chopped nuts walnuts, pecan, almonds, cashews
- 40 grams (⅓ cup) seeds pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds
- 60 grams (¼ cup) honey or maple syrup
- 5 tbsp coconut oil or vegetable oil, butter
- 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- a pinch of salt
Heat one tablespoon of coconut oil in a a large non-stick skillet or frying pan. Once hot, add the oats to the pan and toast over medium heat. Stir occasionally to ensure even toasting, this should take about 4-5 minutes. Remove the toasted oats from the pan and set them aside in a bowl.
In the same skillet, add chopped nuts, seeds and the remaining oil. Toast the mix for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Once lightly brown and crunchy, add the toasted oats back to the pan together with honey (or maple syrup), ground cinnamon and a pinch of salt.
Mix everything together thoroughly, ensuring the oats are evenly coated with the honey and cinnamon mixture. Cook the mixture on medium heat for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning. The granola should become slightly crisp during this step.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the granola cool down.
