Ingredients

  • 1 cup (165g) pineapple, cubed

  • 5 Medjool dates, pitted and roughly chopped

  • Orange, 2 tbsp. juice

  • 1 tbsp. vanilla extract

  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon

  • ¼ cup (60ml) coconut oil, melted

  • 3 cups (400g) almonds, roughly chopped

  • 1 cup (150g) cashew nuts, roughly chopped

  • 3 cups (90g) unsweetened coconut flakes

  • ½ cup (70g) sunflower seeds

  • ½ tsp. salt

Directions

  • Pre-heat oven to 250F (120C) and prepare 2 racks lined with baking sheets.
  • In a food processor or high-speed blender, add the pineapple, dates, orange juice, vanilla extract and cinnamon. Blend until smooth. Next add in the coconut oil and blend again. Set aside until required.
  • Chop up the almonds and cashew nuts and transfer into a large bowl. Add the coconut flakes, sunflower seeds, salt and mix well.
  • Fold in the pineapple mix into the nuts and mix well until combined.
  • Divide the wet granola between the two earlier prepared baking sheets and spread into a thin layer.
  • Place into the oven and bake for around 2 hours. Give the granola a mix every 20 mins and rotate the trays after 60 mins of baking.
  • In the last 30 mins keep a close eye on the granola to prevent burning. Finish baking as granola turns golden brown. Cool to room temperature and transfer into airtight containers.
  • The granola will keep for a couple of weeks.
