Ginger, Sesame & Walnut Granola

You guys have been asking for this one so here it finally is, the recipe for my ginger, sesame and walnut granola. A new daily staple that’s seriously fuelling me through exams right now!

Best way to eat it is from a large tablespoon straight out the jar! Although also works great served with yoghurt, sprinkled in smoothies or on top of ice cream.

Makes 1 jar

Ingredients

500g jumbo oats

100g ground almonds

100g pumpkin seeds

100g sunflower seeds

125g walnuts, crushed

15g ground ginger

A large pinch salt

150ml oat milk

100ml toasted sesame oil

50ml olive oil

75ml maple syrup

1/2 tbsp vanilla essence

Method

Preheat the oven to 140 degrees celsius.

In a large bowl, mix the oats, ground almonds, seeds, crushed walnuts, ginger and salt. I usually do this in two bowls because I don’t have one big enough for the whole mixture.

In a separate smaller bowl, mix the oat milk, sesame oil, olive oil, vanilla and maple syrup. Whisk until combined.

Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix until the oats are evenly coated.

Divide the granola between two baking trays lined with greaseproof paper and bake in the oven for approximately 30 minutes or until golden. I recommend keeping a watchful eye throughout the baking process.

Serve with yoghurt and berries, sprinkled on smoothies or spoon straight from the jar.
