Healthy Quinoa & Coconut Granola Recipe

Ingredients

2 cups gluten free oats or quinoa flakes
1/3 cup rice malt syrup
coconut flakes/peeled coconut flesh
1/2 orange (juice and zest)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch nutmeg
1/4 cup vanilla extract
splash of water

Seeds & Nuts

*Try and use activated nuts

handful pepitas
handful pecans
handful macadamias
handful almonds
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon flaxseeds

Optional: choice of dried fruit (goji, apricots, cranberries etc)

Instructions

  1. Pre heat oven to 170 degrees celsius.
  2. In one bowl, mix the cinnamon, nutmeg and oats together.
  3. Place a saucepan on a low heat, and heat until warm the rice malt syrup, vanilla extract and the orange juice.
  4. Take off the stove, let it cool slightly, fold in the orange zest.
  5. Pour over the oat mixture. Then fold in all remaining ingredients except the dried fruit (if using)
  6. On a lined baking tray (foil works best) evenly spread the mixture (you want this to be one even layer, so it cooks evenly and the rice malt mixture makes the oats stick together and cluster)
  7. Cook for 20 minutes, check to see if slightly golden, then break up the clusters to cook the under side.
  8. Turn down to 150 degrees and cook for a further 15-20 minutes or until golden and crispy.
