Quite a few people have asked me recently how I make homemade granola, so I thought I'd share this recipe with you. It's perfect for breakfast served with some fresh fruit and yoghurt, or as a little snack throughout the day. It's very filling and high in protein, it’s also incredibly easy to make and can be completely personalised to suit your tastes.
Ingredients
200g rolled oats
1 tbsp unrefined coconut oil (you could also use vegetable oil)
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons maple syrup
50g sunflower seeds
50g pumpkin seeds
50g coconut flakes
50g almond flakes
50g chopped cashew nuts
50g chopped hazelnuts
100g sultanas (or any other dried fruit)
2 tbsp sesame seeds
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch of sea salt
*Most of these ingredients are optional, and can be substituted for pretty much anything you like! I like to add chocolate chips sometimes, or extra almond flakes for added sweetness. I vary the ingredients every time I make this, but this is my favourite combination!
Method
- Preheat the oven to 170C/150C Fan/Gas 3 and line two baking trays.
- In a bowl mix together all of your ingredients (except the dried fruit) until everything is lightly coated in the delicious maple syrup, honey and coconut oil (it might be easier to melt the coconut oil before this step if yours is set).
- Tip the mixture on to the two baking trays, and spread out evenly.
- Bake for 20 minutes then leave to cool before breaking up any large clumps, and mixing in the dried fruit.
- Store the granola in an airtight jar, preferably in a cool place. Serve with some delicious Greek yoghurt and fresh fruit and enjoy.
Let me know how you vary this recipe, there are so many ways you can play around with it!
