Start your day the right way with this delicious date and pumpkin seed granola. It’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face first thing!
Ingredients (6-8 servings)
2tbsp coconut oil
10tbsp oats
100g dates, finely chopped
1tbsp pumpkin seeds
1½tsp cinnamon
1tsp flaxseeds, optional
2tbsp maple syrup/ coconut sugar
Method
Start by preheating the oven to 180C/gas mark 4. Now melt the coconut oil in a medium pan on low heat.
Add the oats and stir them for 1-2 minutes before adding the rest of the ingredients.
Keep stirring the granola for 7-8 minutes until brown. Transfer to a baking tray and place in the oven for 10-15 minutes, checking regularly after 5 minutes to ensure it doesn’t burn.
Leave to cool down before serving as it will become crispier once cooled. You can have this granola with any kind of milk, or with yogurt and berries.
Here I’ve served it with plain yogurt and my saffron blossom compote, which I will be putting the recipe for on my website soon.
