How to make Pumpkin Spice Granola with Maple Syrup, Mixed Nuts, Coconut and Seeds

Collect all your ingredients together:

Granola Mixture –
oats – jumbo old fashioned rolled oats
puffed brown rice
mixed nuts – your choice. I used whole almonds, hazelnuts, cashews, pecan nuts and walnuts
coconut – either flakes or desiccated. I used desiccated
mixed seeds – I used sunflower, pumpkin and sesame
Binding mixture:
maple syrup or you could use honey or agave nectar
coconut oil – or another type of flavourless oil such as sunflower
Autumn/Pumpkin Spice Powder
almond extract
vanilla extract
Dried fruits:
sultanas and raisins

**Also perfect with fresh milk – try dairy, coconut, soy or oat**

Make the Granola:

Weigh the binding ingredients directly into a saucepan.
Heat over a moderate heat and mix thoroughly with a balloon whisk.
Chop any nuts if necessary and weigh the granola ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Stir to mix well.
Pour in the binding ingredients.
Thoroughly mix ensuring all the granola ingredients are thoroughly covered in the binding mixture.
Tip out onto an oven tray lined with baking parchment.
Spread out the granola and level over the oven tray.
Cook for 45 minutes stirring every 15 minutes.
Take out of the oven and leave to cool. When cool add the dried fruit.
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from the sun.
Delicious with dairy, coconut, soy or almond milk. Also fabulous with yogurt, fresh fruit and/or a dollop of nut butter. Try sprinkled on porridge or over cooked fruit and ricotta or simply eat as is when you need a quick and healthy snack.
