Recipe


Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup tahini
  • ⅓ cup almond butter or peanut butter
  • ⅓ cup raw honey or maple syrup
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • ¼ heap cup sunflower seeds
  • ¼ heap cup pepitas
  • ¼ heap cup flaked or roughly chopped almonds
  • ¼ heap cup roughly chopped walnuts or pistachios
  • To serve
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds or ground flaxseeds
  • Organic Greek yoghurt
  • Berries
  • Sliced citrus fruits (grapefruit, orange, lime)

Method


  • Preheat the oven to 160°C and line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
  • In a large pan, combine tahini, nut butter, honey or maple syrup, cinnamon and vanilla over low heat. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  • Add the rolled oats, sunflower seeds, pepitas, almonds and walnuts or pistachios to the pan, tossing well to coat everything evenly. Spread the granola mixture onto the prepared baking trays in an even layer.
  • Bake for 15–20 mins, tossing the mixture every 5 mins to ensure it browns evenly. Once golden and fragrant, remove from the oven and allow the muesli to cool completely. Store the cooled muesli in an airtight jar or container in the fridge.
  • To serve, spoon a generous amount of Greek yoghurt into a bowl. Top with muesli, chia or ground flaxseeds, fresh berries and sliced citrus fruits.
