METHOD

1. Preheat oven to 200C.
2. In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine coconut oil, brown sugar, honey, and vanilla. Stir wet mixture well with a hand mixer. Fold carrots into wet mixture.
3. In a separate large-size mixing bowl, combine oats, nuts, ginger powder, cinnamon, cardamom powder and salt.
4. Pour wet mixture into oat mixture and use hand mixture to moisten the entire granola mix. It should be sticky to the touch.
5. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Spread wet granola mixture evenly onto cookie sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Every 5 minutes, turn the granola with a spatula to ensure that the granola doesn’t burn or brown too much.
