Craving a taste of the tropics? This Gluten-Free Tropical Granola is the perfect blend of sweet pineapple, crunchy nuts, and fragrant coconut flakes. It's a wholesome, delicious way to start your day or a delightful snack any time.
Method
- 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.
