Let’s all take a second to appreciate the wonders of homemade granola.
Not only is it super easy, it’s also a great way to save money and experiment with different flavours.
And we think our latest granola recipe is probably our best yet.
We let the tahini sing through in this granola, which gives the cereal a lovely nutty and gourmet flavour.
Homemade granola can actually last for months if stored in an air-tight container.
But this doesn’t last very long in our home!
We love to serve this fresh fruit, usually berries and grapefruit, all soaked in plant-based milk.
Simple. Nutritious. Delicious.
And don’t forget, if you love this, then you’ll totally love our debut 5-ingredient cookbook So Vegan in 5, which is available to buy right now.
Enjoy!

So Vegan's Gourmet Granola

Ingredients
100g / 3.5oz raisins- 80g / 2.8oz pecans
- 270g / 9.4oz buckwheat groats
- 125g / 4.4oz oats
- 4 tbsp coconut flakes
- 4 tbsp pumpkin seeds
- 6 tbsp tahini
- 3 tbsp coconut oil
- 4 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
- Transfer the raisins to a small bowl and cover with hot water from the kettle. Leave to one side to soak while you carry out the next steps (soaking helps prevent them burning in the oven).
- Preheat oven to 180°C / 356°F and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
- Roughly chop the pecans and add them to a large mixing bowl along with the buckwheat, oats, coconut flakes, and pumpkin seeds.
- Combine the tahini, coconut oil and maple syrup in a pan over a medium heat until melted, then pour over the buckwheat mixture and stir until fully combined.
- Transfer the granola to the baking tray and spread it out evenly. Bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes or until the granola is golden and crunchy. It’s important you don’t over-bake the granola because it will become bitter and very hard. Also make sure you remove the granola after 10 minutes and give everything a mix to ensure the granola bakes evenly.
- Remove the granola from the oven and leave to cool. Then pour into an air-tight container. The granola should last for a few months, but it’ll taste better the sooner it’s eaten.
