What you will need to make this recipe

You can use any nuts and seeds you have on hand. Macadamia, Brazil, pecan and walnuts are the nuts lowest in carbs and are great for keeping the total carbs per serve as low as possible. Other nuts that will also work well are hazelnuts and almonds.

Seeds that work well with this granola recipe are chia, flax, hemp, pumpkin, sesame and sunflower seeds. We like to include hemp seeds as we like the texture and they add some extra protein.

• Coconut – We prefer to use shredded or flaked coconut in this recipe, as it is the bulk of the granola replacing the traditional oats or other grains.
• Almonds – It is best to use raw, unsalted almonds for this recipe. Blanched, slivered or flaked almonds would also work.
• Macadamias – It is best to use raw, unsalted macadamia nuts.
• Pecans – It is best to use raw, unsalted pecan nuts.
• Sesame seeds – It is best to use raw seeds that are not salted or toasted.
• Pumpkin seeds – It is best to use raw seeds that are not salted or toasted.
• Chia or hemp seeds – It is best to use raw seeds that are not salted or toasted.
• Butter – Any butter will work in this recipe. For a dairy-free alternative you can use coconut oil instead.
• Sweetener – We like to use Sukrin Gold in this recipe, it is a brown sugar alternative. You can use any one-for-one sugar replacement you prefer.
• Cinnamon – We used ground cinnamon in this recipe. You can use more or less cinnamon to your preference.
• Vanilla extract – Any vanilla extract or paste will work in this recipe. You can leave it out if you would prefer.
• Salt – We use fine Himalayan pink salt, you can use any salt you prefer. It helps to bring out the flavor and sweetness of the nuts.

You may need –

You will need a large, flat baking sheet so you can spread out the granola to bake it evenly in the oven. It would be helpful if the baking sheet had a small lip also.

Step by step instructions

1. Chop the nuts roughly and place all the nuts, seeds and coconut in a large bowl. Toss to combine.
2. In a small jug or bowl, combine the melted butter, sweetener, cinnamon, vanilla and salt. Mix well.
3. Add the butter mixture to the nuts and seeds. Stir well to ensure all the coconut and nuts are coated in the butter mixture.
4. Spread the granola out on a lined baking sheet in an even layer and bake in the oven until golden brown. You will need to stir the granola 2-3 times during baking to ensure the coconut doesn’t brown.
5. Once it is golden brown, remove the baking sheet from the oven and place on a cooling rack to cool down.
6. Once the granola is cooled completely, store in an airtight jar or container.

Expert tips, suggestions & how to store

• Dairy free option – Swap out the butter for coconut oil for a dairy free and vegan option
• Storage – Once the granola has completely cooled, it is best stored in an airtight container or jar.
• Granola texture – If you wanted a finer chop on the nuts you can chop in a food processor, just be careful not to make it too fine. I prefer the texture when the nuts are roughly hand chopped.
• Serving suggestions – With Greek yogurt and berries, on top of a chia pudding, by the handful for a quick snack!
• Baking tips – When mixture is in the oven, keep an eye on it as the coconut can catch easily. The time in the oven depends on your oven, so watch that it doesn’t burn and make sure that you stir 2-3 times.
• Maple granola – We like to add a small dash of maple flavoring to this granola, for a yummy maple taste. You can find the maple flavor here. For Australians, you can find maple flavour here.
