If you need a nutrient dense breakfast or snack to keep you fueled, this recipe is a total winner. By pairing heart-healthy rolled oats with protein-packed almonds, walnuts, Brazil nuts, and cashews, you get a balanced ratio of plant protein, complex carbohydrates, and dietary fiber.
Whisking pure maple syrup, olive oil, vanilla extract and ground cinnamon creates a sweet, aromatic coating that wraps around every single oat and nut as they toast. Once cooled, it transforms into extra crispy, golden clusters with virtually no hands on prep time required.
Customize it however you like! Stir through dried fruit or vegan chocolate chips after cooling, scatter it over creamy plant-based yoghurt, or enjoy it as a crisp topping for your morning smoothie bowl.

Upgrade your morning routine with this easy, single-tray homemade granola! Packed with rolled oats, crunchy mixed nuts, warm cinnamon, and pure maple syrup, this golden recipe bakes up perfectly in under 25 minutes. Allowing it to cool completely produces extra-crunchy clusters that make an ideal plant-based breakfast, yogurt topper, or healthy snack.
Preheat your oven to 200°C. Add the Oats into a large mixing bowl. If you're using whole nuts, either chop them using a knife or bash them with a rolling pin (or your hand if you're adventurous) until they are a similar size as the oats. Once they are a similar size to the oats, add these to the bowl as well.
Add the Maple syrup, olive oil, vanilla extract, salt and cinnamon into the mixing bowl. Mix this well until all ingredients are until combined.
Grab a large sheet pan and layer this with parchment paper. Layer on the granola mixture and spread it evenly across the surface of the pan. Bake this in your preheated oven for 12 minutes, and give it a mix. Return this to the oven for a further 12 minutes it's done!
