Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 125 g/ 1 ½ cups/ 4 ½ oz Jumbo Oats
- 50 g/ ½ cup/ 2 oz Spelt flakes
- 3 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 2 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Almond extract
- ½ teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tsp Chai spice/ pumpkin spice or 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 Apples (red, tart) I used Pink Lady
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon Dessicated coconut
- 2 tablespoon Flaked almonds (slivered)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 160C/ 310F and line a sided baking tray with baking parchment
- Weight the oats & spelt flakes into a medium mixing bowl. Add the spice and chia seeds, then stir briefly
- Grate the apples coarsely (leave the skin on), stopping when you reach the core. Add to the dry ingredients and mix in
- Melt the coconut oil and syrup in a small pan. Stir in the almond and vanilla extracts and pour into the dry ingredients. Mix well and spread the granola out onto the baking sheet
- Bake for 15 minutes then stir and turn. Return to the oven and cook for a further 15 minutes
- Turn the heat down to 150C/ 300F. Stir and turn the granola again and cook for another 15 minutes
- If the granola is crisp and dry, remove from the oven. If it is still a little soggy continue to cook the granola taking care to stir and turn the granola every 5 minutes until it has dried out (it can burn easily at this point so needs to be checked more frequently)
- Once cooked, sprinkle the flaked almonds and coconut over and let cool completely before decanting into an airtight jar
- Keeps for up to 6 weeks
