Granola

Breakfast has always been an issue for me.

I don’t eat eggs, don’t enjoy cereal …love smoothies but missed breakfast way to many times to live a balanced life.

Until I started making my own granola :-)

Ingredients:

Nuts
Great thing about this recipe is anything goes.

I love the below, 100 g of each

Pecan nuts

Walnuts

Hazelnuts

Pumpkin seeds (woolies have a great sweet vanilla coated range)

You can add almonds,  coconut flakes , sun flower seeds the list goes on.

Spices

1 teaspoon of cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger

1 tablespoon of coconut oil

Method:

Melt coconut oil and fry spices

Add nuts (chopped slightly) and coat with spice mixture

Lay nuts onto a baking tray and toast in oven set at 180 degrees  (grill ) till nuts brown for 5-10 min (be sure not to burn them, there have been many tears in my kitchen… 1st rule about nuts … never turn your back on them).

I hope you enjoy this recipe. I enjoy mine as a snack or with fresh fruit and greek low fat yoghurt, for a little extra sparkle you can also add chia seeds!!!
