Christmas Granola Jars

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups oats
• 1 cup pumpkin seeds
• 1 cup sunflower seeds
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 2/3 cup coconut oil
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1/3 cup smooth peanut butter

METHOD

1. Pre-heat oven to 180ºC/350ºF.
2. Add the dry ingredients to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. In a bowl mix together the coconut oil, maple syrup and peanut butter until smooth. Pour over the oats and stir using a spatula until the oats are completely coated. Press down to flatten the mixture, then bake for 20 minutes.
4. Remove from the oven when golden brown and leave to cool fully before stirring. This will help to turn the granola into clusters.
5. Store in a jar, then decorate with a ribbon and gift tag.

Aileen's Top Tip: If serving granola as a toddler snack, grind using a pestle and mortar until fine, then stir through yogurt.
