Makes: 7 cups

Prep: 20 mins

Cook: 2 hrs

What you need;

1 cup (165g) pineapple,
cubed

5 Medjool dates, pitted and
roughly chopped

Orange, 2 tbsp. juice

1 tbsp. vanilla extract

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

¼ cup (60ml) coconut oil,
melted

3 cups (400g) almonds,
roughly chopped

1 cup (150g) cashew nuts,
roughly chopped

3 cups (90g) unsweetened
coconut flakes

½ cup (70g) sunflower seeds

½ tsp. salt

What you need to do;

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.
