Ingredients - Granola:
- ¾ cup Dates (chopped into small pieces)
- ½ cup Dried banana (chopped into small pieces)
- 1 cup Pecans (roughly chopped)
- 2 cups Buckwheat kernels
- 2 cups Puffed buckwheat
- 1 cup Shredded coconut
- ¾ cup Pepita seeds
- ½ cup Cacao nibs
- ½ cup Sunflower seeds
Ingredients - Syrup:
- ⅓ cup Coconut sugar
- ½ cup Coconut oil
- ¼ Maple syrup
- 2 Tbsp Cinnamon powder
- 1 tsp Ginger powder
- 1 tsp Cardamom powder
- 2 tsp Miso paste
- ¼ tsp Salt (or to taste)
Method:
- Preheat oven to 140°c and line a large baking tray with baking paper
- Melt coconut oil over low heat until liquid, but not hot
- If available, grind the coconut sugar down to a fine powder using a Nutribullet. If this isn’t an option it is fine to leave as is
- Combine the coconut oil, maple syrup, coconut sugar, salt, miso paste and ground spices in a bowl and stir well. Put aside for now
- Combine all remaining ingredients except for dried banana and dates in a large bowl. Add the sugar and oil mixture to the dry mix and stir well. Use hands to ensure everything is coated consistently
- Note: Any dried fruit can be substituted and any additional fruits can be added!
- Spread on the tray and bake in the oven for 25-35 minutes
- Check every 10 minutes and toss the mix on the tray regularly to ensure it is evenly cooked. About ⅔ way through baking, add the banana and dates, mix and put back in the oven
- Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature to ensure a crispy granola
- Serve with milk or yoghurt and enjoy! Store leftover granola in an airtight container in the cupboard
