my goodness granola

Sitting in my apartment eating this granola makes me so happy. Especially because its a Saturday. I’m not hungover. I’ve already exercised. I have made granola. Life wins. The only thing that can make this morning better is listening to the Book of Mormon soundtrack on full blast. As I sing along to ‘Hello’ and yell out the lyrics about welcoming Jesus Christ into my life I remember that my neighbours can hear everything that comes out of our apartment and did I mention I live in Malaysia? Eeesshh.

Kitchen notes: This is just using what I love and also what I have in the pantry. Any nuts, fruit, seeds will do just make sure the portion sizes are similar to ensure you get a good result.

Method
Pre heat your oven to 170 and line a baking tray.

In the large bowl mix all the dry ingredients together except the apricots and raisins. In a little bowl stir the maple syrup, coconut oil and molasses sugar and microwave for 10 seconds. Stir through until you have a thick paste then pour over the dry ingredients.

Spread the granola over your baking tray evenly and bake for 10 minutes. Turn the tray the around then bake for a further 5-7 minutes or until golden and hardened. Stir through the apricots and raisins while the granola is still hot then leave to cool before transferring to a air tight container. This will last around 3 weeks.
