One Bowl Olive Oil Granola
Breakfast made for the entire week in just 15 minutes? And it's delicious & healthy? Ah, yes please!
It’s no secret that I love granola, and why would I want to keep that secret anyway? I’m a granola girl through and through. From Hemp Seed Granola to Big Batch Orange & Cranberry Granola, I love it all. My One Bowl Olive Oil Granola is my latest creation. Using antioxidant rich extra virgin olive oil, this delightful breakfast fare is not just yummy but stacked with nutrients as well.
The Handful of Ingredients You will Need
extra virgin olive oil - it wouldn't be olive oil granola without olive oil right? The best olive oil to use is extra virgin olive oil as it is less processed meaning it retains more nutrients and antioxidants than the more processed varieties. You can swap olive oil for coconut oil.
pure maple syrup - I love using maple syrup in recipes like these because it is so runny it mixes so easily with the olive oil. Make sure to use pure maple syrup and not maple flavoured syrup. If you're wanting to swap maple syrup for honey, you will want to warm the honey in a saucepan until it is runny before mixing with the olive oil.ground cinnamon - I've added a little cinnamon for flavour, you can swap this for mixed spice, pumpkin pie spice or apple pie spice. Or swap for vanilla extract.
sea salt flakes - salt helps to round out the sweetness a little. A little pinch goes a long way.
rolled oats - I've used old fashioned rolled oats and made sure to buy certified non-contaminated rolled oats. In the US these are referred to as gluten free oats.
whole almonds and pistachios - to make this recipe nut free, swap the almonds and pistachios for more pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds or other seeds like hemp seeds or more oats. Other nuts you can use in this recipe are cashews, walnuts or pecans.
dried cherries - dried cherries are so delicious in this recipe but can be swapped for any other dried fruit of choice like dried cranberries, raisins, dried apricots (chopped up) or leave out all together.
unsweetened coconut flakes - also known as unsweetened coconut chips.
raw sunflower seeds
raw pumpkin seeds - also known as pepitas (the little green pumpkin seeds).
