Coco-nutty granola recipe for Father's Day
Looking for a breakfast-in-bed idea for a dad, grandad or special man in your life this Father's Day? This Coco-Nutty Granola from the I Quit Sugar cookbook is divine. Eat it like cereal or pour it over yoghurt for an afternoon snack.
Makes: 5 cups
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil or butter, melted
- 3 cups coconut flakes
- 2 cups unsalted mixed nuts, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional
- 3 tablespoons rice malt syrup, optional (omit in weeks two to five)
- 1/2 cup full-fat natural yoghurt or milk to serve
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 120ºC/250°F/Gas Mark.
2. ½ and line a baking tray with baking paper.
3. Combine all ingredients, then spread evenly on the tray.
4. Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes until golden, turning halfway through the cooking time. The darker it is, the crunchier it will be.
5. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
6. Store it in an airtight container in the pantry for up to two weeks (or in the freezer for even longer!).
Note: 3/4 cup = 1 serve
Note: I Quit Sugar encourage you to cut the sweetener down even more if you can. They've made this without any sweetener at all and it's delicious. Read more on this at I Quit Sugar here.
