80g / 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds 

1 tsp ground cinnamon 

½ tsp fine salt

50g / 1 cup coconut flakes 

160g / 1 cup dried apricots, chopped 

70g / ½ cup dried cranberries

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 180C/350F and line a baking tray with parchment paper, then set aside.
2. Add oats, slivered almonds, pumpkin seeds, cinnamon, and salt to a large bowl and mix well
3. In to a medium bowl, add the oil, Lyle’s Golden Syrup, and vanilla extract. Microwave on medium to high heat for 20 seconds to loosen the syrup. Stir thoroughly. Alternatively, heat in a small saucepan for a couple of minutes. 
4. Pour the golden syrup mixture into the bowl of oats and add in the flaked coconut. Mix well until everything is coated. 
5. Spread mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet and place in the preheated oven. Bake for 20 minutes. 
6. Remove the tray from the oven, add apricots, cranberries, and goji berries, and mix through the granola. Re-spread the granola evenly over the tray. Bake for a further 15-20 minutes until golden. 
7. Remove the tray from the oven and set it aside for the granola to cool fully. Break up any large pieces and transfer them into an airtight container. 
8. Serve with your favourite yogurt and with an extra drizzle of Lyle’s Golden Syrup.
