Fresh Life Honey Coconut Macadamia Granola

2 cups Fresh Life macadamia nuts, roughly chopped

1 cup Fresh Life pumpkin seeds 1 cup Fresh Life slivered almonds 1 cup Fresh Life coconut chips 3 Tbsp honey

1⁄2 cup Fresh Life black chia seeds

2⁄3 cup Fresh Life dried blueberrie­s

1⁄2 cup Fresh Life whole cranberrie­s

2 cups oats

Preheat oven to 180C bake. In a large non-stick frying pan, dry roast (using no oil or butter) the pumpkin seeds, almonds and macadamia nuts over a low heat until pumpkin seeds begin to pop. Add oats and coconut, stirring constantly until oats have slightly browned.

Put all ingredient­s from frying pan into an oven tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle over honey and mix well to combine.

Place in oven for 10-15 minutes, or until mixture is a light golden brown. Check and stir well every 5 minutes to ensure the mixture doesn’t burn.

Remove from oven and stir through chia seeds and dried fruit.

Serve with fruit, milk and/or a tablespoon of yoghurt if desired — or just snack on it by the handful!
