Granola : Orange & Fig

This is my winning granola recipe- winning as it converted my weetbix-kid husband into having my healthy granola for breakfast (although he asks for a bit more honey in his!).

This recipe is a combination of quite a few granola recipes on the internet but I made it mine by adding my favourite nuts and adding orange and dried figs- one of my favourite flavour combination. The recipe can omit the dried figs if you are cutting out sugar. This recipe is paleo, healthy, grain free and refined sugar free. I usually have my granola with homemade almond milk or cashew milk. I like the creamy cashew milk with this granola flavour. 

Ingredients: (makes around 6 servings)

• 2 cups of shredded coconut;
• 1 cup of pumpkin seeds;
