Delicious Healthy Granola

[Trinity]

1 mugful of oats (rolled or porridge, whatever you have)
Half a mug of seeds (i.e. sun flower, pumpkin, sesame)
Handful chopped almonds
Third of a mug of desiccated coconut
Heaped teaspoon cinnamon
1 table spoon of agave syrup (or maple syrup/organic fair trade honey)
2 and a half table spoons of coconut oil

Mix all dried ingredients together in a large oven tray.

Add syrup and oil mixing together thoroughly.

Place under a grill (medium heat) for less than five minutes. Stir mixture about three times (listen for 'popping' of the seeds, which is a great indication that the mixture needs stirring thoroughly - this ensures even cooking). If you don't have a grill, then baking is fine (this takes longer).

Allow to cool (is also lovely served straight out of the grill) then serve with fruit such as chopped apple, strawberries, banana etc. (just one fruit is fine). Some people like to add raisins or chopped dried fruit to the mixture after it has been grilled.

Enjoy!

With Love

I leave out the coconut by adding more seeds, and change the almonds for chopped brazil nuts. makes a lovely change.

It's cooking as I type (thank goodness for laptops!). I don't like coconut so have left that out and reduced the liquid slightly. Have used sunflower oil instead of coconut. The initial bits I have tried are YUMMY.
