Grateful Granola

2 cups rolled oat

1/2 cup of almonds, brazil nuts

1/2 cup of cranberries, raisins, dates

2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp salt

3 tbsp honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup of coconut oil

100g of salted butter

2 tbsp brown sugar

1 tsp fresh grated ginger

1 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Line Baking sheet with foil or parchment

Combine oats, nuts, dried fruits, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt in a big bowl.

Heat a pan of water and rest a glass bowl on the top of water and melt the butter, sugar, honey/syrup and vanilla extract until it’s a golden liquid.

Add this golden liquid to the oat mix, add in the grated ginger and combine well.

Spread the whole mixture over the baking sheet. Cover with a layer of foil loosely on the top so as not to burn the fruit.

Bake for an hour stirring every 20 mins.

Cool then store in an airtight container.

We like to serve the granola on the Grateful deck with lashings of cold almond milk and perhaps some sliced banana or blueberries.

With hot coffee and tea. Watching the sun rise the droplets of morning dew melting into a new day with the new horizons.
