Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Put the flax and chia seeds in a mixing bowl and pour over 75ml cold water. Set aside for 10 mins until the water has been absorbed by the seeds and they are sticky and gel-like.
- Split the cardamom pods open and use a pestle and mortar to roughly grind the seeds. Add to the mixing bowl with the pumpkin seeds, chickpeas, cinnamon and honey and mix well to combine.
- Spoon the mixture out onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper and use a potato masher to lightly crush the chickpeas. Spread out into a thin, even layer and bake for 40-45 mins until crisp and golden. Keep an eye on the edges after 30 mins and cover any edges that are getting too dark with baking paper. Leave to cool, then break into small chunks.
- Tip: Eat on its own as a snack or enjoy with yogurt and berries. The ‘granola’ will keep for a week in an airtight container.
