Peanut Butter, Oat and Cornflake Granola

Ingredients

  • 30g (2 tablespoons) butter
  • 150g (½ cup) peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
  • 100g (4 cups) cornflakes (see note 1)
  • 50g (½ cup) oats (see note 1)
  • 20g (⅓ cup) desiccated (shredded) coconut
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 40g (¼ cup) hazelnuts
  • 40g (¼ cup) almonds
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a large, flat baking tray with grease-proof paper.
  • Heat the maple syrup, peanut butter and butter together in a pan, just until the butter has melted.
  • In a large bowl, mix up all the other ingredients until combined.
  • Pour the warm ingredients over the dry, and stir together (you may need to get your hands in to ensure the dry ingredients are well coated).
  • Sprinkle the granola over the prepared tray, moving it around with your hands to make sure no bits are on top of each other.
  • Bake in the oven for between 5-10 minutes until nice and golden. Watch very carefully as it can turn from perfect to burnt in a matter of seconds (and believe me, I speak from miserable experience).
  • Allow to cool and then enjoy it as breakfast or sprinkled over a little Greek yoghurt.

Notes

I have converted grams to cups/ounces using online converters. Although I have no reason to believe they are inaccurate, please be aware that as I have not made the recipe with these measurements, results cannot be totally guaranteed.
  1. If you are making a gluten free granola, you will need to make sure your oats and cornflakes are gluten free. This might sound obvious, but it's not always the case.
