Equipment

1-2 baking trays

Ingredients

1 cup / 160g raw almonds roughly chopped
1 cup / 100g walnuts or pecans
1½ cups / 270g buckwheat groats
⅔ cup / 33g coconut flakes chips
1 cup / 150g pumpkin seeds
2 tbsp / 45g chia seeds
1½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ - 1 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoon raw sugar optional
⅓ cup maple syrup
3 tablespoon sunflower oil or melted coconut oil
1 tablespoon nut butter
½ cup / 65g sunflower seeds
⅓ cup dried blueberries completely optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 170 degrees c (350 degrees F). Combine the first nine ingredients (up to but not including the maple syrup) into a large bowl.
Whisk together the maple syrup, oil and nut butter until smooth and stir into the dry ingredients until well combined. Make sure everything is well coated in the wert mixture.
Spread your granola onto a baking tray - use two if you need to - and bake in the oven for 20-minutes. Carefully, remove from the oven and stir in the sunflower seeds. Return to the oven for about 5-7 minutes or until your granola is dark golden.
Remove from the oven, carefully stir in any dried fruit you want to use, and allow the granola to cool completely and crisp up before storing in an air-tight container for up to 3 weeks. Keep it in a cool, dry place for best storage.

Notes

Nutritional Information based on a third of a cup serve.

Don't be tempted to bake your grain-free granola for longer than the recipe time. When you remove it from the oven, it won't be super crispy but that's OK. It will crisp up as it cools.

Add-Ins.

I love a smattering of dried blueberries but you can add what you like. Try these -

Throw in some diced dried apricots or figs

Sprinkle cacao nibs for a chocolate-y hit

Try peanut butter in your mix rather than almond or cashew

Tumble in sweet slices of dried apple and a pinch more cinnamon

Chop in some chewy diced dates
