Gut Loving Granola (Only 7 Ingredients): A Delicious and Nutritious Boost for Digestive Health  

Preparation Time: 10 minutes 


Cooking Time: 40 minutes 


Servings: 1 large jar 

Ingredients 

  • 200g Linwoods Orginal Energy Overnight Oats
  • 200g mixed nuts
  • 50g Linwoods Milled Flaxseed, Sunflower, Pumpkin, Chia Seeds & Goji Berries
  • 1-2 tsp cinnamon
  • Generous pinch of salt
  • 90g honey or maple syrup
  • 125ml olive oil, avocado oil, or melted coconut oil

Directions 

  • Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 160°C (320°F) to ensure your granola bakes evenly and crisps up perfectly.
  • Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the Linwoods Original Energy Overnight Oats, mixed nuts, Linwoods Milled Flaxseed, Sunflower, Pumpkin & Chia Seeds & Goji Berries, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  • Add the Wet Ingredients: Pour in the honey or maple syrup and your choice of oil (olive, avocado, or coconut). Mix thoroughly to ensure that the dry ingredients are evenly coated, which will help the granola form those satisfying clusters as it bakes.
  • Bake the Granola: Spread the mixture evenly across a large baking tray. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Toss and Continue Baking: After 20 minutes, remove the tray from the oven and gently toss the granola to promote even browning. Return it to the oven for an additional 20 minutes until it turns a golden brown and smells irresistible.
  • Cool and Store: Once the baking is complete, allow the granola to cool completely on the tray. This step is crucial for forming those desirable clumps. Once cooled, transfer your Gut Loving Granola to a glass jar for storage.
