Ingredients

  • 200 g almonds
  • 200 g pecans
  • 200 g walnuts
  • 125 g cane sugar
  • ¾ tsp sea salt
  • tsps ground cinnamon
  • tsps ground ginger
  • ½ tsp ground cloves
  • 200 ml coconut oil
  • 250 ml maple syrup
  • 100 ml dark treacle
  • 1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 160 ℃.
  • Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl until well combined.
    900 g large flake rolled oats, 200 g almonds, 200 g pecans, 200 g walnuts, 125 g cane sugar, ¾ tsp sea salt, 4½ tsps ground cinnamon, 2¼ tsps ground ginger, ½ tsp ground cloves
  • In a small saucepan, over medium-low heat, warm the coconut oil, maple syrup, treacle, and vanilla.
    200 ml coconut oil, 250 ml maple syrup, 100 ml dark treacle, 1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
  • Pour the heated liquid mixture over the dry ingredients, and mix well.
  • Spread the mixture evenly onto 1 or 2 large baking sheet(s) and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, stirring near the half-way point to ensure even cooking. The coconut oil will help this granola crisp up nicely but be sure to watch it carefully as it browns quickly.
  • Once the granola is visibly browned, remove from the oven and let cool completely before storing in a air-tight container.
