Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats

1.5 cups raw almonds

¾ cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Zest from 1 orange

1 teaspoon vanilla essence or extract

2 tablespoons sugar free maple syrup

To serve per person: 2 tablespoons reduced fat, Greek yoghurt and ¼ cup blueberries per serve

Method

  1. Preheat a fan-forced oven to 120°C (250°F).
  2. Combine oats, almonds, pumpkin seeds, cinnamon and orange zest in a large bowl.
  3. Pour maple syrup and vanilla into the dry ingredients and mix until oats and nuts are well coated.
  4. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper.
  5. Divide the granola onto the trays and evenly spread the mixture out into one layer. Keep the granola well-spaced so it keeps it crunchy and less likely to become soggy.
  6. Place the trays in preheated, oven and bake for oven for approximately 50 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. Check the granola when toasting and give it mix now and then to prevent burning.
  8. Once baked, cool granola on trays. Store in an airtight container.
  9. Serve ½ cup granola with 2 tablespoons reduced fat, Greek yoghurt and ¼ cup blueberries per person.
