Honey & Chili Spiked Granola

DESCRIPTION

This Honey & Chili Spiked Granola is a sweet-and-spicy twist on a classic homemade granola. Crunchy cashews, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds create a hearty, textured base, while golden honey adds natural sweetness and helps everything bake into crisp clusters. Spicelopedia® Peri Peri seasoning brings a subtle heat that balances the sweetness and gives each bite a warm, unexpected kick. Finished with chewy raisins, this granola works perfectly as a breakfast topping, yogurt mix-in, or standalone snack for something both nourishing and bold.

INGREDIENTS

Almonds	1 cup
Cashews	1 cup + 2 Tbsp.
Sunflower seeds	1 cup
Pumpkin seeds	1 cup
Raisins	1 cup
Coconut oil	5 Tbsp.
Honey (or maple syrup)	3 Tbsp.
Spicelopedia® Peri Peri seasoning	1 Tbsp.

STEPS

1. Preheat the oven to 300°F.
2. Roughly grind all of the nuts and seeds (except for the 2 Tbsp. of cashews) in a food processor.
3. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the whole cashews, raisins, coconut oil, honey, and Spicelopedia® Peri Peri seasoning. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the mixture evenly across the surface.
5. Bake for about 20 minutes total. After 10 minutes, stir the granola gently to prevent burning and promote even baking.
6. Remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely before serving or storing so it can crisp up.
