Ingredients
- 4 Cups organic rolled oats (use certified gluten-free oats for gluten-free granola)
- 1 ½ cup chopped raw nuts and/or seeds (I used 1 cup almonds and ½ cup walnuts)
- ½ cup pepitas
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup melted coconut oil or olive oil
- ½ cup smooth peanut butter
- ½ cup maple syrup or honey
- 40gm Chocolate be. Collagen
- ⅔ cup dried fruit, chopped if large (I used dried cranberries)
- Totally optional additional mix-ins: ½ cup chocolate chips or coconut flakes*
*If you want toasted coconut in your granola: Stir the coconut flakes into the granola halfway through baking. They’ll get nice and toasty that way.
Method
- Preheat oven to 180 and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, nuts and/or seeds, salt and cinnamon. Stir to blend.
- Pour in the oil, maple syrup and/or honey, peanut butter and Chocolate be. Collagen. Mix well, until every oat and nut is lightly coated. Pour the granola onto your prepared pan and use a large spoon to spread it in an even layer.
- Bake until lightly golden, about 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway (for extra-clumpy granola, press the stirred granola down with your spatula to create a more even layer). The granola will further crisp up as it cools.
- Let the granola cool completely, undisturbed (at least 45 minutes). Top with the dried fruit (and optional chocolate chips, if using). Break the granola into pieces with your hands if you want to retain big chunks, or stir it around with a spoon if you don’t want extra-clumpy granola.
- Store the granola in glass container at room temperature for 1 to 2 weeks. Add milk and fresh fruit, or top yoghurt and smoothie bowls or just keep in a small container for a healthy all day snack.
