Instructions
Preheat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius / 320 F / Gas Mark 3 before mixing the ingredients. If using a fan assisted set the temp at 140 degrees Celcius.
Line three rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper or baking paper and set aside until required.
Weigh or measure out the oats, nuts and seeds and add to a large heat proof mixing bowl.
Measure out the berries and apricots into a different bowl as these will be added later.
Place the coconut oil and honey together in a small saucepan over a medium high heat and allow to come to the boil. Add the salt and stir then remove from the heat.
Pour 2/3 of the coconut oil and honey mixture over the oats mixture and stir well to ensure it is combined.
Divide the mixture between the three baking sheets and spread it out in an even layer.
Bake on the middle shelf for 20 minutes then remove from the oven and allow to cool for five minutes.
Place all the granola back into the bowl, add the berries and pour over the remainder of the coconut oil and honey mixture.
Mix through and divide into three baking sheets then bake each one for an additional 12 - 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the counter.
When cool break up the granola and store in airtight containers.
Notes
This recipe is very adaptable and you may replace any of the nuts with macadamias, almonds, walnuts or hazelnuts.
If you cannot find dried white mulberries, then substitute with same quantity of dried cranberries or raisins.
The coconut oil may be substituted with extra virgin olive oil.
The honey may be substituted with maple syrup.
Oats are naturally gluten free but may be processed in a factory with products containing gluten. If you do not have a gluten sensitivity or allergy, then regular rolled oats will do.
