Healthy Breakfast Granola

Ingredients:

(Play about with the toppings till you find a recipe you love!)

• 4 cups GF oats

• 1.5 cups nuts of choice

• 1 tsp himalayan salt

• 1 tsp chia seeds

• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1/2 cup melted coconut oil

• 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1-2 tbsp coconut yoghurt

• 1-2 tsp almond butter

• Optional toppings- cacao nibs, seeds, 2/3 cup fruit of choice or dried fruit- examples e.g blueberries, banana, dried mango, cranberries.

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, nuts, seeds, salt and cinnamon.

3. Pour in the melted coconut oil, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla. Mix well until all the oats and nuts appear coated. Pour the granola mix onto the baking tray and use a spoon/spatula to spread it evenly.

4. Bake the mixture until it turns golden, approx. 22-24 minutes, stirring halfway to prevent clumping.

5. Take the granola out the oven and let it cool for at least 45 minutes.

6. Break the granola into smaller pieces with your hands or stir it around with a spoon if you don't want clumpy granola.

7. Once cooled, place the granola in a bowl and top with coconut yoghurt, almond butter and toppings of choice.
