Total time: 35 mins
Serves: 6
Dietary preferences: Vegetarian

Ingredients:

4 tbsp honey
3 tbsp coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp cacao powder
360g rolled oats
60g coconut flakes
50g cacao nibs
70g flaked almonds
60g pumpkin seeds
60g sunflower seeds

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F) and line two baking trays with baking paper.

2. Place the honey, coconut oil and vanilla extract in a small saucepan and heat over a low heat until the coconut oil has melted.

3. Place the remaining ingredients, except the cacao nibs, in a large bowl. Add the honey and coconut oil mixture and mix until well combined. Ensure that all the ingredients are coated in the honey and coconut oil mixture.

4. Evenly spread the granola over the two lined trays and spread out thinly. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and stir, ensuring that the granola is spread out evenly and thinly again. Bake for another 7-10 minutes until golden brown.

5. Set the trays aside until the granola is completely cooled and crunchy. Stir through the cacao nibs.

6. Serve one-sixth of granola with milk, yoghurt and fresh fruit of your choice. Enjoy!

Store the remaining granola in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
