Cook Time 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup almond butter or other nut/seed butter of choice
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 5 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp ground mixed spice
  • 1 tsp ground cardamom
  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats
  • ½ cup nuts roughly chopped
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 2-4 White easter eggs
  • ¼ cup mixed seeds or pumpkin

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 160˚C and line a standard-size baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, mixed spice, and cardamom and whisk until smooth.
  • Add the oats, nuts, coconut, and seeds. Mix well until evenly coated.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer (use additional baking sheets as needed if increasing batch size).
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, watching carefully toward the end as to not let it burn. You’ll know it’s done when the granola is fragrant and darkened in color.
  • NOTE: If you don’t toss the granola while baking, it will stay extra chunky, but if you want a more crumbly granola, toss/stir a bit at the halfway point to break up the clumps.
  • Once the granola is visibly browned, remove from the oven and toss gently to let the heat escape.
  • Cool completely on the baking sheet.
  • Mix in the crushed easter eggs (or chocolate of choice)
  • Serve with yoghurt of choice or milk

Notes

  • White easter eggs can be swapped for any chocolate of your choice
