Cinnamon, cashew and dried cranberry granola
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw (natural) rolled oats
- 3⁄8 cup quinoa flakes
- ¾ cup raw cashews, roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp raw almonds, roughly chopped
- ½ tbsp LSA (or 1⁄4 tbsp linseeds and 1⁄4 tbsp sesame seeds)
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1⁄4 tsp ground ginger
- 2 tbsp boiling water
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1⁄4 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 35g reduced-sugar dried cranberries
- 250ml high-calcium, lactose-free skim milk and 85g pomegranate seeds, to serve
Method
- Preheat the oven to 140°C (120°C fan-forced). Line one large baking tray with baking paper.
- Place the oats, quinoa flakes, cashews, almonds, LSA or seeds in a large bowl and stir to combine. Add the cinnamon, ginger and mix well.
- Combine the boiling water, maple syrup and vanilla in a heatproof jug and pour over the oat mixture, then stir to mix it through evenly; the oat mixture should be slightly damp but not wet.
- Add the oat mixture to the tray, spreading it out to form an even layer.
- Bake for 35 minutes until fragrant and golden.
- Leave to cool on the tray, then stir through the cranberries. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
- Scoop one serve into bowl and top with skim milk and pomegranate seeds.
If you are sensitive to FODMAPS, swap cashews for low-FODMAP nuts (brazil/macadamia/pecan/hazelnuts); and reduce the serve of pomegranate seeds to 40g per serve.
