HONEY SEED & PECAN GRANOLA

HONEY SEED & PECAN GRANOLA

Crunchy, golden, and naturally sweetened with honey, this homemade granola is the perfect balance of wholesome and indulgent. Rolled oats, toasted pecans, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds come together to create rich texture, nutty flavour, and satisfying crunch in every bite.

It’s the kind of pantry staple you’ll reach for daily — sprinkled over yoghurt, served with milk, or enjoyed by the handful straight from the jar. Simple to make and endlessly versatile, this granola feels nourishing, comforting, and just a little bit luxurious.


Serves 6

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • ½ cup sunflower seeds
  • ½ cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
  • ¾ cup pecans, roughly chopped
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • ¼ cup neutral oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼–½ tsp salt (to taste)

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 160°C (fan 140°C). Line a baking tray.
  2. Mix dry: Combine oats, seeds, pecans, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. Warm wet: Gently warm the honey and oil together (microwave or stovetop), then stir in vanilla.
  4. Combine: Pour over dry ingredients and mix well so everything is evenly coated.
  5. Bake: Spread in an even layer. Bake for 20–30 minutes, stirring once halfway for even colour.
  6. Cool completely: Let it cool on the tray without stirring — this helps create crunchy clusters.

Optional add-ins (after baking)

  • Dried fruit (cranberries, apricots, raisins)
  • Coconut flakes
  • Dark chocolate chunks

Tips for the best texture

  • For chunky clusters: press the mixture down firmly before baking and avoid stirring too much.
  • For extra crunch: bake a little longer at a lower temp, keeping an eye on colour.
  • Store in an airtight jar for up to 2–3 weeks.
