What you need:
250 grams of sunflower seeds
250 grams of pumpkin seeds
100 grams of shredded coconut (in New Zealand, this means strands of dried coconut with no sweetener or anything else added; in some countries, the equivalent product is ‘desiccated coconut’)
200 grams of walnuts
100 grams of brown sugar
5 grams of salt (or about 1 teaspoon)
10 grams of ground cinnamon
60 mls of mild oil (I used mild olive oil but any mild oil will be fine)
What to do:
1. Turn the oven on to 180ºC to pre-heat and line a large baking tray (or two medium baking trays) with baking paper.
2. In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients really well, until thoroughly combined.
3. Even distribute the mixed granola ingredients across the baking tray (or baking tray if you’re using more than one) and place in the middle of the pre-heated oven.
4. Bake the granola for about 20 minutes, stirring every 5 to 10 minutes to ensure the granola cooks evenly. Adjust the cooking time up or down depending on how well done you like your granola.
5. Once baked, remove the baking pan from the oven and set aside to cool completely.
6. Store in an airtight container for up to a week, although it never lasts that long at my house!
7. Enjoy!
