4. Spices like cinnamon, vanilla, tonka bean, turmeric …
5. Oil: coconut oil is the most suitable

7. dried fruits maybe there are: raisins, dates, apricots, figs, mango, physalis …

Preheat oven to 180°C.
In a large bowl, whisk oats, nuts, quinoa flakes, pumpkin seeds, salt and cinnamon together. Add oil, syrup and vanilla. Turn out onto a baking sheet and bake for 15 mins or until golden.
Remove from the oven and toss in the dried fruits (if using) while the granola is still warm. The granola will dry out and crisp up while it cools. Store in an air-tight container until ready to use.If you try this homemade nut granola or one of my other recipes, please leave us a comment how you liked it.
