GRANOLA





This recipe is based on Gwyneth Paltrow's Granola recipe. I arranged it according to my taste. I love Gwyneth's cookbook. She likes to focus on healthy yet delicious recipes. I find it totally in consistency with this blog.




iNGREDiENTS:
  • 150 gr oats (not instant and not steel-cut)
  • 70 gr raw, whole almonds
  • 4 Tabespoons pumpkin seeds
  • 4 Tabespoons sunflower seeds
  • a pinch of cinnamon
  • a pinch of salt
  • 100ml of maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon agave nectar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (any vegetable oil is fine)
  • 60 gr of cranberries (you can use any dry fruit that you like: raisins, apricot, figues)

RECiPE:
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • Roughly cut the almonds (do not skip this step or your almonds won't be as caramelized)
  • In a bowl stir together all the ingredients except for the cranberries: oats + pumpkin and sunflower seeds + chopped almonds + cinnamon + salt +  oil + maple syrup + agave nectar.
  • Spread the granola out on parchment paper.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Once baked, let it cool for a while and then add the cranberries.
  • ET VOiLA !

The Granola will keep well for 2-3 months in an airtight container.
