- Add the nuts and seeds to a food processor or blender and very gently chop them so that you end up with evenly sized pieces. Don’t go for too long or turn the blender up too high or it will turn into a meal. You want even texture and crunch.
- Turn into a large mixing bowl with the sultanas, goji berries, coconut, cinnamon and vanilla. Add the dates and figs to the blender or food processor (don’t worry about cleaning it) and do the same this that you did with the nuts and seeds by gently blending to cut them into evenly sized chunks then add to the mixing bowl with the other ingredients.
- Add the coconut sugar, honey, maple syrup and coconut oil to a small saucepan on low heat and gently melt and dissolve the sugar and coconut oil without boiling then when it is completely melted and the sugar looks like it has dissolved add to the mixing bowl of dry ingredients and stir through.
- Line a large baking tray with baking paper or a silicone mat and spread the mix evenly then bake for 30 minutes gently turning the outer edges to the centre to create an evenly browned and crunchy granola.
- Remove from the oven and let cool, then crumble into small chunks and store in an airtight container.
