Place granola in airtight containers or jars for a gift that will keep on giving for up to a month after Christmas.

Makes about 6 cups

3 cups rolled oats

½ cup quinoa flakes

1 cup flaked coconut

1 cup hazelnuts, halved

½ cup slivered almonds

½ cup pumpkin and sunflower seed mix

1 cup maple syrup

¼ cup honey

2 tsp vanilla bean paste

100g butter, chopped

1 cup dried cranberries

½ cup dried figs, thickly sliced

Greek yoghurt, to serve

Fresh fruit, cut into pieces, to serve (optional)

 

Preheat oven to 160°C.

Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Then combine oats, quinoa, coconut, hazelnuts, almonds, pumpkin and sunflower seeds together in a large bowl.

Combine maple syrup, honey, vanilla and butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes or until butter melts and mixture is smooth.

Drizzle maple syrup mixture over oat mixture and toss to combine. Spread over lined baking tray.

Bake, stirring every 5 minutes, for 30 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
