Easy Homemade Toasted Granola is so simple to make that you’ll never go back to store-bought. Pack it with your perfect mix of nuts, seeds and fruit – it’s infinitely customisable.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 6 serves 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (400 g) rolled (porridge) oats
  • ½ cup (125 ml) coconut oil (melted) or olive oil
  • ½ cup (125 ml) maple syrup
  • 1 tsp natural vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp sea salt flakes
  • 1½ cups nuts/seeds of choice (I used a combination of pecans, sunflower seeds and pepitas/pumpkin seeds)
  • ½ cup (30 g) shaved coconut flakes
  • ½ cup (75 g) dried fruit (I used dried cranberries/”craisins”)
  • Plain yoghurt, to serve (optional)
  • Strawberries and blueberries, to serve (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) (180°C/350°F fan-forced).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the oats, coconut oil (or olive oil), maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon and salt.
  3. Spread out evenly on a baking tray lined with baking (parchment) paper and bake for 10 minutes.
  4. Add the nuts/seeds and coconut to the ingredients on the tray. Stir well to combine. Bake for a further 10 minutes.
  5. Stir the dried fruit through. Allow the granola to cool completely (it will deepen in colour as it cools).
  6. Serve with yoghurt and fresh fruit, if desired.
  7. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 weeks.
