Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with baking paper.
  • Combine all the dry ingredients (except for the raisins and dried strawberries) in a large bowl. Pour in melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and orange zest, and stir through to combine.
  • Spread the mixture out in an even layer on a baking sheet and place in the oven to bake for 10 minutes. Remove the baking sheet, stir the ingredients, rotate the sheet, and bake for a further 10-15 minutes, or until golden. Take care towards the end of the cook to ensure the granola does not burn.
  • Remove the tray from the oven and set it on a wire rack to cool completely. Then break the granola up; add the raisins and strawberries; and stir to combine.
  • Store the granola in an airtight container or jar on the countertop for up to 2 months.
  • This recipe makes 6 cups of granola and nutritional information is provided per ¼ cup serving.
