Vegan Grain-Free Granola
2min read
Taking the oats out of granola might feel counterintuitive, but it makes room for extra clusters of nuts, seeds and coconut flakes. Use this recipe as a base and adjust spices and add-ins based on what you have on hand and are in the mood for - cardamom, orange zest, tahini and cacao nibs are all on the usual add-in rotation.

Preheat your oven to 160˚C fan/180˚C conventional and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
STEP 2
Combine the sunflower seeds, chopped cashews, almonds, pumpkin seeds and coconut flakes in a large bowl.
STEP 3
Stir in the melted coconut oil, maple syrup and salt as well as the add-ins (if using) and mix to combine.
STEP 4
Spread the granola evenly onto the prepared baking tray. Bake the granola for 35-40 minutes, stirring it around every 10 minutes, until it's deeply golden.
