Homemade Granola Recipe – No Added Sugar 🌰
Granola is so much healthier and cheaper to make at home. It’s naturally sweetened with chicory root syrup (a prebiotic fibre), packed with oats, nuts, seeds and dates, and full of slow release energy.
Every spoonful gives you:
💛 Fibre from oats, nuts, seeds & dates
💛 Prebiotics from chicory root (feeds the good gut bacteria)
💛 Healthy fats to keep you full
💛 No refined sugar, just whole ingredients
Ingredients:
250g oats
100g hazelnuts, roughly chopped
100g flaked almonds
80g mixed seeds (such as sunflower, pumpkin, and chia and flaxseeds)
2 tsp ground cinnamon
60g coconut oil, melted
100g chicory root syrup
10 dates, pitted and chopped (optional)
Method:
Preheat your oven to 145°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, hazelnuts, almonds, mixed seeds, cinnamon and chopped dates.
If you prefer your dates soft you can mix them in once the granola is cooked, but I like them crunchy.
Melt the coconut oil and then stir in the chicory root syrup until well combined.
Pour over granola and mix until evenly coated.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking tray and press it down flat. Bake for 40-45 minutes.
Keep an eye on it, as granola can burn quickly.
Then break it up with your hands as chunky or as finely as you like.
Store the cooled granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or it last even linger in the fridge!
