Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp almonds chopped
- 2 Tbsp pumpkin seeds
- 2 Tbsp sesame seeds
- 2 Tbsp sunflower seeds
- 2 Tbsp shredded, unsweetened coconut
- ¼ cup rolled oats (not quick oats)
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp real vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/2 to 1 Tbsp real maple syrup or other liquid sweetener
- Optional: ½ cup almond milk, yogurt or milk kefir to serve
Instructions
-
Add the nuts, seeds, coconut, and rolled oats to a medium saucepan and toast over low-medium heat for 5-7 minutes or until just golden. Stir frequently because this can burn in no time! Once I see a moderate amount of colour, I take it off the heat – it will continue to cook a bit more.
-
Add the salt, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and maple syrup and quickly stir everything together.
-
Pour into a bowl and serve with almond milk, yogurt or kefir as desired.
Recipe Notes
This stovetop granola can be customized to your taste!
Here are some ideas:
- Grain-free version: Replace the oats with additional shredded coconut, chopped nuts, and/or seeds.
- Nut-free: Skip the almonds and increase the seeds. Crispy rice cereal might be nice for some extra crunch.
- Keto-friendly: Use a sugar-free syrup and focus on low-carb nuts and seeds.
- Extra protein: Mix in a serving of collagen peptides (if not vegan) or your favourite plant-based protein after toasting.
- Flavour variations: Experiment with spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom. For a tropical twist, try adding dried mango or pineapple pieces after cooking. Add some unsweetened cocoa powder for a chocolate kick. You could add nutritional yeast for a savoury option and cheesy flavour.
