LUXURY PEANUT BUTTER GRANOLA

Serves: Makes 1 large jar

Time to create: 35 minutes

Ingredients

• 120g of dates

• 250g of jumbo oats

• 50g of mixed seeds (we used pumpkin, sunflower and sesame)

• 40g of flaked almonds

• 60g of pecans

• 15g of cacao

• 60g of peanut butter

• 40g of rice malt syrup

• 20g freeze dried banana (or banana chips)

Recipe

1. Preheat oven to 180C, fan setting.

2. Place the dates in a high-speed blender with 125g of the oats. Blend until the dates are no longer visible. Pour into a large mixing bowl.

3. Add the remaining dates, the seeds, almonds, pecans, and cacao and stir until well combined.

4. Add the peanut butter and rice malt syrup and stir together, making sure the mixture is evenly covered and there are no large clumps of peanut butter.

5. Spread the mixture out evenly onto a lined baking try, and place in the oven.

6. Bake for 25 minutes, stir every 5 minutes to ensure an even bake.

7. Allow the granola to cool before adding the cacao nibs and banana.
