Notes

  • Note 1 The coconut oil is the 1st ingredient added for this recipe. Let it melt (into liquid form) and then add the rest of the ingredients. 
  • Note 2 The oats can be quick or rolled oats, both work fine for this recipe! 
  • Note 3 All of the nuts and seeds are raw. We cook them during this process. So you are looking for 'natural nuts', ie not roasted, salted etc. 
  • Note 4 You will be able to find cinnamon power in the spices aisle of the supermarket. This is the raw powered cinnamon not the cinnamon sugar (easily confused). We don't want to use cinnamon sugar as it will add sugar to the recipe and the natural raw cinnamon gives great taste, no need for sugar also! 
  • Note 5 The setting is low so it won't burn, you can stir occasionally if you wish. 
  • Note 6 The saute mode is used to toast the granola so that it will be crunchy delicious once it has cooled. Keep an eye on it and stir regularly throughout this time (30 - 45 mins). 
  • Note 7 Unlike when we use the slow cooker function, the saute function will heat and cook the granola much faster. This is the time to be hands on with the cooking. 
  • Note 8 **It is hard to determine the nutrition for this recipe as each individual will likely consume a different portion of the granola. This recipe has been worked out on 20 individual portion sizes.
