  3. Add the nuts and seeds to the oats and mix well again.

Notes

  • Store in a sealed jar or airtight container for up to a month, if it lasts that long.
  • The original recipe had twice the amount of liquid, but I found it was more likely to burn.
  • You can substitute any seeds or nuts with others of your preference, just as you can change oils, add dried fruits or exchange all liquids for apple puree for a healthier alternative.
  • We enjoy this granola with homemade coconut yoghurt and pineapple syrup or agave, just a suggestion.
