Delicious Healthy Granola in 3 Steps


This healthy granola is rich in protein and fibre. You can have it with yogurt or milk, and seasonal fruits. It provides a healthy and quick boost of energy, first thing in the morning. This recipe has no refined sugars or fat. I use maple syrup (Go, Canada!) and coconut oil. I usually make this on Sunday night, and it lasts me a whole week. During the day I have to control myself from snacking on it. Yes, it's THAT good. Give this quick recipe a try, and you would be rewarded with a wholesome breakfast throughout the week. 


Ingredients:

2 cups of rolled or quick oats
1/2 cup of chopped cashews
1/2 cup of chopped walnuts
1/4 cup of chopped dates
1/4 cup of desiccated coconut (unsweetened)
3 tablespoons of coconut oil
1/3 cup of maple syrup

Step 1: Mix all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Make sure the coconut oil and maple syrup are well incorporated. 


Step 2: Transfer it into a lined baking sheet. Using a spatula spread the oats and nuts mixture evenly. 


Step 3: Place the baking sheet in a 300 degrees Fahrenheit oven for 10 minutes.  After 10 minutes, stir the granola, and put it back in the oven for another 10 minutes, or until golden brown.


Let it cool, and store it in an airtight container.
