Let me just start by saying I absolutely love granola. You can experiment to create so many different flavours. My favourites always include loads of fruit, nuts, and of course chocolate. The best part is you can make a giant batch with a few different flavours going on and freeze them! This is a recipe I sort of made up from trying out copious amounts of granola recipes. You can swap everything around to really make the granola your own. You can make this recipe for delicious granola or simply use it as a guide for your own granola.
Ingredients:
2 cups oats
1tso cinnamon
1tsp salt
1/8 cup white sugar
1/8 cup brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 cup honey
1/8 cup maple syrup
1/8 cup unsalted butter melted
1/3 cup raisins
1/3 cup dried cranberries/raspberries/cherries
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup almonds
Preheat the oven to 165C / 325F.
Combine the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ingredients in another. (If you don't have unsalted butter handy, just use what you have and and don't add the teaspoon of salt.) Once they are well combined add the wet ingredients to the oat mixture. Spread the mixture on a baking tray lined with waxed paper. Using a potato masher or your finger tips firmly press the oats down. you want it nice and tight in the baking tray. Pop in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Once the granola is is done remove from the oven. You want to then flip the granola out of the baking tray before it cools (If you don't the wax paper will stick to the granola and it is impossible to get off). Then peel the wax paper off the granola slab and cut into bars.
Delicious and Nutritious!
