Ingredients

DRY INGREDIENTS:

• 4 cups / 360 g rolled oats (not steel cut or quick cooking)
• 1 cup coconut flakes (or more nuts or oats)
• 1 cup raw nuts (eg. sliced almonds, chopped pecans, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds)
•  1/2-1 cup dried fruit (eg. chopped apricots, apple, pineapple, raisins)
•  1 tsp your favourite spice (eg. cinnamon, pumpkin spice, sweet mixed spice)
• 1 pinch salt

WET INGREDIENTS:

 1/3 cup sweetener (eg. honey, maple syrup, agave, Brown Sugar)

•  1/3 cup fat (eg. melted butter, canola oil or coconut oil)
•  1 tsp flavouring (eg. vanilla, almond essence, orange blossom)
• CLUMPY GRANOLA:
•  2 egg whites
• To make this vegan, omit the egg white and add the dried fruit after cooking. Bake for 35-40 mins.
• METHOD

• Preheat oven to 140C/280F. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
• Combine Wet ingredients excluding egg whites.
• Combine Dry including dried fruit.
• Whisk egg whites with fork until foamy.
• Mix Wet and Dry in a large bowl, then mix through egg whites.
• Spread granola on the tray, making a hole in the centre, like a doughnut.
• Bake for 45 minutes – DO NOT STIR – until golden. Check at 35 minutes. 
• Then turn the oven off, leave the granola in the oven, and open the oven door open a bit. Leave the granola to cool. The colour will deepen and it will firm up.
• Once cool, break into clusters. Store in an airtight container.
