If you're allergic to everything but love an everything luxury muesli, then all aboard! I bake this granola recipe once a week, and unfortunately it has a lot of sugar. Feel free to substitute with a healthier sweetener like honey, agave syrup, maple syrup or date syrup.

Steps

40 minutes

1

Mise en place (Everything in place): I like to start with preparing all the ingredients first.
2

Preheat Oven to 200 Celcius
3

Place 1/4 cup of sugar in two separate pots. Pour 1/4 cup of boiling water in the pot with the dark (high molasses) sugar and 1/2 cup of boiling water in the light (unrefined) sugar. (Skip this step if you already have a preferred syrup or sweetener)
4

Leave syrup to reduce at medium heat for about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally. When ready, the dark syrup should be thick and the light syrup a lot more runny.
5

Mill the cinnamon and star anise in spice grinder, and chop your nuts of choice
6

Combine all the dry ingredients
7

Mix the wet ingredients when the syrup is ready
8

Spread on onto baking sheet. Feel free to use parchment paper or silicone mat for easy clean up but I like the crunch the granola develops when it gentle sticks to the sheet.
9

Place into to a 200 Celsius for oven for 10 minutes, then remove to stir the muesli making sure to scape the bottom. Place back into the oven for 5-7 minutes at 175 Celsius
10

Sprinkle coconut shavings, and then stir and scrape.

Let sit for about 10 minutes before storing in a jar
