BASIC GRANOLA

Ingredients

• 125 g raw pecan nuts

• 50 g raw almonds, finely pulsed

• 250 g gluten-free rolled oats

• 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon, ground

• 1 Tbsp agave syrup

• 1 tsp vanilla paste

• 1/2 cup macadamia oil

Cooking Instructions

1. Place the nuts in a bowl, cover with warm filtered water and soak for 8 to 12 hours.

2. Rinse well with cold water and dry spread out on kitchen paper (in the sun, if desired).

3. Preheat the oven to 180°C.

4. Roughly chop the nuts and combine with the oats and cinnamon in a mixing bowl.

5. In a measuring cup, whisk together the agave syrup, vanilla paste and macadamia oil. Pour the oil-and-syrup mixture over the dry ingredients and mix well so that everything is evenly coated.

6. Line a large baking tray with tinfoil and spread the granola mixture in the tray. Bake for 15 minutes, stirring now and again to ensure that the mixture doesn’t clump.

7. Remove from the oven, shake and stir, then allow to cool completely. It will crisp up as it cools. Store in an airtight container.
