Homemade Granola is easier to make than you think! Give our delicious Orange, Mango & Coconut Granola a try.
We love making our own Granola, and I often wrap it nicely and give it to friends and family for presents too. This version using fresh orange juice, dried mango & coconut flakes and is divine!
This is delicious as it is, plus you can use this as a base recipe and add your own twists. Try nuts, seeds and dehydrated fruits.
INGREDIENTS
1 orange
750 grams rolled oats
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup coconut oil (or more vegetable oil)
1/4 cup honey
125 grams dried mango, sliced into bite-sized pieces
80 grams coconut chips
DIRECTIONS
Preheat your oven to 130C.
Put oats on a lined oven tray.
In a Pyrex jug or microwave-proof bowl add vegetable oil, honey & coconut oil, microwave on high for 30 seconds and stir. If combined pour over the oats and stir until all the oats are coated.
Squeeze the juice of the orange over the top. If any oats look dry, feel free to add a slosh more oil but I don’t usually.
Pop in the oven for 1 hour, stirring approx. every 15 mins, cook until golden.
Leave to cool and then add your extras.
Add the coconut & mango, stir to combine, then store in an airtight container
There are oranges and then there are Gisborne oranges. Our incomparable Navel oranges are loved throughout New Zealand. A winter orange, Navels are seedless, juicy, and easy to peel and segment. Our region has the perfect climate of sunny warm days and cool nights to be able to grow one of the world’s favourite fruits.
Our oranges are grown on trees we planted in 2003. We knew our soil comprised exceptionally fertile heavy silt loam, renowned in our district for growing just about anything, but it wasn’t until we started selling our oranges direct to customers that we realised just how remarkable they are. Flavoursome, juicy and bursting with goodness, they have to be tasted to be fully appreciated.
Navel oranges are a fantastic immune-booster. One medium orange can easily meet your daily vitamin C requirement, especially important during those dreary winter months.
Our oranges store well at room temperature out of direct sunlight for a week, but will last much longer in the fridge where their vitamin content is undiminished.
