Homemade Granola
I love granola but the ones available in supermarkets are a little pricey and often full of sugar. This recipe is so easy that I've wondered why I've not been making it for ever.
Serves 4 people
120g - oats
4tbl sp - pure maple syrup
2 tbl sp - of linseed (mine was mixed with sunflower and pumpkin seeds, and goji berries)
20g - flaked almonds (or any chopped nuts of your choosing)
20g - dried fruit (mine was a mix of cranberry, raisins and sultanas)
Pre heat the oven to 180 - 200 degrees. In a bowl mix the oats and maple syrup until the syrup coats all the oats, add a little more if needed. Then stir in the linseed mix and flaked almonds and combine thoroughly.
Pour the mix out on to a large baking tray and spread out evenly, you may need more than one tray. Place the trays in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, turn the mix every 5 minutes to ensure toasting evenly and avoid burning. The granola is finished when golden and toasted.
Allow to cool then add in the dried fruit. Store in a sealed container. The granola should last for several weeks.
Serve simply with milk or yogurt, or add fresh fruit or compote for an extra boost. A granola breakfast need pairing with a song that got equal bite and makes you want to jump up and face the day ahead with gusto. For that I've chosen Catfish and Bottlemen - Pacifier
