I love the warming, spicy flavour of ginger. Fig and ginger together? Yum, a classic flavour combination. This is a lovely crispy, crunchy granola based around nuts and seeds with the addition of goji berries, figs, a kick of ginger and a hint of maple.
This fig and ginger granola is also great straight out of the jar by the handful as a quick snack, or sprinkled on some yoghurt. It’s more of the ‘adults’ granola. My kids think it’s ok, but it’s not their favourite flavour. Bonus for me as it means it lasts longer than my cacao granola! 🙂
You Will Need:
1 ½ cups of buckwheat groats
½ cup of coconut chips
½ cup of chopped walnuts
½ cup of sliced almonds
½ cup of pumpkin seeds
½ cup of spouted sunflower seeds
2 tablespoons of maple syrup
2 tablespoons of coconut oil
6-8 dried figs (chopped)
½ cup of raisins
¼ cup of goji berries
3 teaspoons of ground ginger
1 teaspoon of nutmeg
What To Do:
- Preheat your oven to 175 degrees Celsius.
- In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients except the goji berries, raisins, and figs.
- In a small saucepan over a low heat, melt the coconut oil and the maple syrup together.
- Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ones, and fold/stir to coat.
- Spread the mixture out in an even layer on a large baking tray.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until toasted and fragrant. Check and stir every few minutes as the granola can burn easily.
- Remove from the oven, and leave to cool.
- Add the goji berries, raisins, figs, and ginger. Toss to combine.
- Store in a large jar.
- Makes 6 cups.
