Preheat the oven to 300 F / 150 C
-
Combine the oats, nuts, seeds, coconut, orange rind and juice of 1 orange, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.
-
Heat the coconut oil in a small saucepan over a low heat and stir in the syrup.
-
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.
-
If you prefer a clumpier granola, you can stir in the white of one egg.
-
Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet in a thin layer.
-
Bake for 20 minutes, then add the dried fruit for the last 10 minutes..
-
Stir a couple of times along the way. Watch it closely as each oven differs.
-
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.
