Ingredients
  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup mixed nuts of your choice
  • 1/2 cup seeds including sunflower , pumpkin and linseed
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shaved coconut
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup dried fruit of your choice. Pineapple and cranberries are great
  • Rind of 1 orange grated plus the juice of the orange
  • 3 Tablespoons syrup , honey or Agave
  • 3 Tbl coconut oil.
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 300 F / 150 C
  2. Combine the oats, nuts, seeds, coconut, orange rind and juice of 1 orange, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Heat the coconut oil in a small saucepan over a low heat and stir in the syrup.
  4. Remove from the heat and pour over the oat mixture and stir until everything is well coated. I like to add the dried fruit 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time, so that it doesnt go too hard.
  5. If you prefer a clumpier granola, you can stir in the white of one egg.
  6. Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet in a thin layer.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes, then add the dried fruit for the last 10 minutes..
  8. Stir a couple of times along the way. Watch it closely as each oven differs.
  9. Remove from the oven and press down on the granola with a metal spatula. This will create more clumps. Allow to cool and store in an airtight container.
