Total time: 40 min

For the granola

Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats

½ cup buckwheat

⅓ cup pumpkin seeds

¾ cup pecans, roughly chopped

¼ cup sliced almonds

⅓ cup coconut oil

3 tablespoons maple syrup

1 tbsp flax seeds

½ cup dried coconut shavings

1 tbsp sesame seeds

1 tsp cinnamon

pinch of salt

add ins

4 dried figs, chopped

½ cup raisins

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C on fan mode.

2. In a large bowl, combine the oats, nuts, seeds, buckwheat, coconut chunks, cinnamon and salt. Give the mix a rough stir.

3. In a small pan, melt the coconut oil and along with the agave (or honey/maple syrup), add to the rest.

4. Give it all a thorough stir to make sure the liquids are mixed in well. Allow little clusters to form and trust me, we will be grateful for every chunky cluster that ends up in our bowl!

5. Line a large baking tray with baking paper and spread the granola evenly across it.

6. Place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the nuts are crunchy and the oats are golden brown (check every now and then because the coconut shavings tend to burn quickly).

7. Once the granola has cooled a little (~10 min), add the chopped figs and raisins.

8. Transfer your granola to a jar or other air-tight container to keep fresh and ready to use in the morning.

9. Sprinkle this deliciousness on top of your yoghurt, your banana pancakes, your homemade cakes, your chia pudding, your overnight oats, your anything and everything!
