Today I am bringing you this guest recipe for Homemade Cinnamon Cardamom Granola by my lovely friend Eli Brecher. Eli is a London-based nutritionist and food blogger. She created her blog in during her first year at university, when she was struggling with Crohn’s Disease.
Her recipe for this spiced homemade granola combines classic ingredients like cinnamon and raisins with a pinch of cardamom for a unique, Middle-Eastern inspired twist. The crunchy clusters are delicious served over a bowl of coconut yogurt or with a splash of almond milk and fresh berries. It’s also incredibly moreish when eaten straight out of the jar!

📖 Recipe Card
Vegan Cinnamon Granola with Cardamom
Equipment
- 1 lined baking tray
- 1 pan
- 1 spatula
Ingredients
- 2 cups jumbo oats
- ¼ cup cashew or almond butter

- ¼ cup coconut oil
- 4 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
- 4 tablespoon flaked almonds
- ¼ cup raisins or sultanas optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170 C and line a baking tray with grease-proof paper.
- Add the oats, seeds and nuts to a large bowl.
- Melt the coconut oil in a frying pan over a low heat, then keep the heat on low and add the nut butter and maple syrup. Stir consistently until no lumps remain.
- Remove the frying pan from the heat and stir in the cinnamon, cardamom, vanilla and sea salt.
- Pour the wet mixture into the large bowl and mix until fully combined.
- Spread the granola mixture into a very thin layer on the lined tray, using a spatula to press it together so that clumps form.
