Ingredients

  • 100g gluten-free oats
  • 150g mixed nuts (I use almonds, pecans, Brazil nuts and walnuts)
  • 130g raisins
  • 80g mixed seeds (I use pumpkin, sunflower, chia and linseeds)
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1-2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground sweet cinnamon
  • 70g dark chocolate
  • Sea Salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C / 400°F / Gas Mark 6.
  2. In a saucepan melt together the coconut oil, honey, vanilla extract and ground sweet cinnamon and stir until everything is combined.
  3. Place the gluten-free oats, mixed nuts, raisins and mixed seeds into a large bowl and stir until the dried ingredients are mixed and then drizzle over the melted combination. Give everything a really good stir, making sure all the dried ingredients are covered with the honey mixture and spread out evenly over a baking tray. Sprinkle with some sea salt.
  4. Place the baking tray in the oven and cook for 20 minutes, turning and stirring the mixture every 5 minutes. If you want to remove the granola from the oven any time before the 20 minutes is up then please do.
  5. Once cooked, place the granola baking tray on the side and leave to completely cool. Once cold, mix in the chunks of dark chocolate and place in a storage container to eat throughout the week.
