Lightly sweetened granola made with jumbo oats, cornflakes and peanut butter. This maple and nut granola is full of nutty, crunchy clusters. Pour over coconut yoghurt and fresh fruit for a healthy breakfast that is ideal for sunshine weather.
The ingredients
This granola is crammed full of plant based goodness. I’ve added chia seeds, pumpkin seeds and brazil nuts which are high in protein and healthy fats. Once baked, the seeds and nuts develop a lovely roasted flavour.
I’ve added maple syrup to sweeten the oats and add a deep golden-brown hue. I prefer using maple syrup in baking, it adds a rich flavour to the granola, and with notes of toffee and caramel it makes the granola taste naughtier than it is actually is.
How to get clusters in your granola
In order to get your granola to clump together, yes that is a technical word, you want to really press your granola down into the tin before baking. This allows the syrupy mixture to stick together. After baking allow the granola to completely cool in the tin, then turn out the granola slab and gently break up to form little clusters of maple nutty bliss.
