Nutty Granola Recipe
My nutty granola is honestly divine and so easy to make. I like to have it for breakfast or as a snack with natural yoghurt and mixed berries or banana
Ingredients
- 300g oats
- 210g mixed nuts
- 60g mixed seeds (pumpkin & sunflower)
- 50g chia seeds
- 20g flaxseed
- 100ml maple syrup
- 100ml olive oil
- Pinch of salt
- 3 tsp cinnamon
- 30g raisins
- Bake 160, 25 mins. Let cool. Stir in raisins
Method
- Preheat oven to 160 degrees
- Mix all ingredients in a bowl except for the optional raisins
- Add mixture onto a lined baking tray pressing down the ingredients with a spatula making sure it’s compact (this helps with forming the clusters!)
- Bake for 25 minutes
- Remove from the oven and cool completely, for around 30 minutes. This also helps form the clusters!
- Add in the raisins and mix/break up the granola. Store in a mason jar
Nutrition tip: Nuts, seeds and spices such as cinnamon count towards our plant points (aim for 30 a week if you can). I use a variety of nuts and seeds in this recipe increasing the variety of plants in my diet to feed my gut microbes. Our gut microbes are happy when they have lots of different plants and whole foods to feed on. Regularly eating a high fibre varied diet will improve your gut health, skin health, mood and cognition and help to reduce inflammation.
