Ingredients

  • 2 cups buckwheat
  • 2 cups brown rice puffs or spelt or millet puffs (Good Morning Cereals has a good range)
  • 2 cups mixed raw nuts (almonds, cashews, hazelnuts)
  • 1 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 orange juice and zest (to yield approx 1/3 cup)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 150° C (130° C fan-forced) and line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
  • In a large bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients and add the orange zest.
  • In a small jug, stir together the orange juice, maple syrup and vanilla bean paste. You should have about 2/3 cup of liquid.
  • Pour the liquid into the dry ingredients and mix well.
  • Spread the mixture out evenly over the two trays.
  • Cook for about 30 minutes, stirring the granola halfway through cooking. The mixture will be golden brown when cooked.
  • Allow to cool completely before storing in airtight containers. The mixture will keep for two weeks.
