Amazing homemade Gluten Free Granola with no sugar

I used to always buy granola to have with yoghurt and fruit but this week I decided to have a go at making my own. I never realised how easy (and a lot cheaper) it was to make. You can make a big batch and save it in an air tight container. 

Ingredients

-  4 measuring cups of Gluten free oats - (I used Dove Farm Organic)

- 1 1/2 cups of mixed nuts/ seeds (I used pecan, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds)

- 1/2 cup dried fruit (I used Sainsburys mixed Cherries and Berries mix) - 1/2 tsp of salt 

 (ideally sea salt but fine grain)

- 1 tsp cinnamon 

- 1/2 cup of melted coconut oil (if you don't have any you can use Olive Oil)

- 1/2 cup of Maple syrup (you can use honey if you don't have Maple syrup)

- 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Method

- Preheat the oven to 180C Fan.

- Mix together in a bowl the oats, salt and cinnamon. 

- Chop the pecans and add to the bowl. Add the sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds. 

- Melt the coconut oil and mix in a bowl with the maple syrup. Add the vanilla extract. 

- Pour the liquid oil mix over the dry oat mix and mix together coating all the oats. 

- Once fully mixed place on a baking tray that is lined with greaseproof paper. Spread it  

  out as an even layer. 

- Bake in the oven for 20-30 mins until golden. Stir half way through. 

- The granola will crisp up after removing from the oven. Stir in the dried fruit. 

- Once cool place in a air tight container. 

Delicious served for breakfast with Organic Natural yoghurt and fresh berries.....
