The other day I was really craving some granola, banana and almond milk but we didn't have any granola. So instead of putting it on the shopping list I decided I would make it because after all how hard can it be to put some oats in the over. As expected it was very easy. I adapted this recipe to fit what I had in the cupboard and what I wanted  in my granola.

INGREDIENTS

1 1/4 cups of oats
1/2 cup of almonds
1/2 cup of brazil nuts
2 tablespoons of pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup of chia seeds
1 1/2 tbsp of coconut oil
1/12  tbsp of maple syrup
1 1/2 tsp of cinnamon

METHOD

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C. Pulse the nuts in a food processor until they are the size you want. I made my granola quite fine.
2. Move the nuts to a bowl and add the oats. chia seeds and pumpkin seeds.
3. Add the coconut oil, maple syrup and cinnamon to a small pan and heat until the oil has melted. Stir to combine the oil and syrup however it doesn't combine fully.
4. Add the oil mixture to the cry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated.
5. Line  a tray and lay the granola out onto the tray. Put into the oven and stir regularly. Mine took 10-15 minutes to be done but if you want it crunchier/ have bigger chunks it may take longer.
6. Let it cool completely before transferring it to an airtight jar.

enjoy!

These are best eaten on the day as they don't keep very well. Everytime I make these they are normally gone within the hour anyway! They are very addictive and quick to make.

METHOD

2 ripe bananas
1 cup oats
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
handful of chocolate chips

INGREDIENTS 

1. Preheat the oven to 180

2. Puree the bananas until they are smooth. 

3. Add the cinnamon and stir into the banana puree

4. add half of the oats and stir

5. add the rest of the oats and your chocolate chips. 

6. line or grease a baking tray and use a tsp to put the mixture onto the tray. They should be able to hold their shape I can normally make 25 per batch.
7. Cook at 180 for 15-20 minutes.

enjoy!
