Pre-heat the oven to 150C / 300F
Weight the nuts into the Thermomix bowl. Chop for 3 seconds / speed 5. Set aside for later.
Add the coconut oil, honey, maple syrup and salt to the Thermomix bowl. Melt together for 2 minutes / 60 degrees / speed 2.
Add the oats, nuts, pumpkin seeds, and coconut flakes to the bowl. Mix for 15 seconds / REVERSE / speed 2. Give it a quick stir with the spatula and mix again for 15 seconds / REVERSE / speed 2.
Line a deep baking tin with baking paper, tip in granola mixture and spread out.
Bake in oven for 30-35 minutes until golden, stirring once half way through.
Leave to cool in the tin, then stir in chopped fruit.
Store in an airtight container.

Oats - just cheap, plain rolled oats are perfect for this recipe. Don't go for instant oats.
Nuts - choose whichever nuts you like to add to your granola. My favourite to use are raw almonds and cashew nuts. Other nuts - pistachios, Brazil nuts, pecans, and macadamia nuts are all great options.
Seeds - again you can choose whichever seeds you like. I always use pumpkin seeds (pepitas) in my granola. Sunflower seeds work well too.
Dried fruit - my favourite is dried cranberries and I often add dried apricots too. Dates, raisins, dried mango, dried apple and sour cherries also work well. If you're looking for a cheaper alternative, then raisins are a great option.
Shredded coconut - try to make sure it's unsweetened or your granola will be too sweet. I like shredded or flaked coconut so that you get the texture of it, rather than desiccated coconut that just gets lost among the oats.
Honey/Maple syrup - this is where the granola gets its sweetness. My preference is a half/half mix of honey and maple syrup. I find too much honey overpowers the flavour. If you prefer to stick with just one, that's fine too.
Coconut oil - I love the flavour coconut oil gives to this granola. But if you aren't a fan, then you can substitute with another oil - avocado, grapeseed, walnut...
