Vegan Granola Base

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 150c.

Step 2

In a large bowl mix the oats, flour, cinnamon, cardamom and salt until combined. Add the nuts and seeds and set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the melted oil, syrup and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix well to combine.

Step 4

Spread the mixture out evenly onto two baking sheets and bake for 30 minutes, removing from the oven half-way through to break up and stir the granola. (In the second half of the cook time, watch the edges like a hawk and make sure they don’t burn).

Step 5

Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Once cooled, the granola should be brittle and crunchy. Store in an airtight jar until ready to serve.
