This granola is quite something! You make a beautiful caramel sauce with nut butter and coconut sugar which you then massage into the rolled oats and nuts that you then bake to perfect. Yum!
2,5 dl / 1 cup buckwheat, puffed cereal, extra nuts or seeds
2,5 dl / 1 cup roughly chopped nut or seeds of choice
1,25 dl / 120g / 1/2 cup nut butter
1,25 dl / 80g / 1/2 cup coconut sugar or other granulated sugar
1,5 dl / 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp water
A pinch of salt
A splash of vanilla essence
1 tsp cinnamon
Optionally 1 – 2,5 dl / 1/2 – 1 cup of dried fruit of choice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 150ºC / 300ºF.
In a large bowl, combine the oats, buckwheat, cereal, and nuts.
In a sauce pan, whisk together the nut butter, coconut sugar, water, salt, vanilla, and cinnamon to a smooth mixture. While heating over low-medium heat on the stove, stir every so often until the caramel mixture starts to bubble slightly and thicken. Be careful as it gets really hot!
Add the “caramel” to the dry and mix with a large wooden spoon or such and make sure everything gets nicely coated. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring half through, or until crispy and golden. Let cool and enjoy!
