Directions
- 1Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan).
- 2In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, maple syrup, extra virgin olive oil, vanilla paste and sea salt.
- 3Mix well and spread the mixture into a thin layer on a baking sheet or ceramic baking dish lined with baking paper.
- 4Bake for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until lightly golden.
- 5Remove from the oven and allow to cool fully – the granola will become crunchy as it cools.
- 6Meanwhile, grind the cacao nibs in a small blender or coffee grinder until they have the texture of a coarse flour.
- 7Once the granola has cooled, stir in the ground cacao nibs, dried cranberries, chia, Brazil nuts and coconut.
- 8Store in an airtight container and eat within two weeks.

Tips
- The one, two, three approach means you don't have to weigh, just use any cup for measuring.
- The goal is to get the overall carbohydrates down and the protein and nutrients up by outnumbering oats with seeds.
- Mix the basic granola well so it goes crispy.
- The fun happens when you get it out of the oven, as you add toppings to create different flavors.
- Store in an airtight container and eat within two weeks.
