Granola

Granola is a tasty, crunchy cereal mix with nuts and seeds. Often thought of as an American version of muesli, it is bound with a little maple syrup and toasted in the oven.

This is simple to prepare and goes well with lots of other things (dairy, fresh or stewed fruit, etc.) for a delicious breakfast.

Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 1 min.

Preheat the oven to 360°F (180°C).

Stage 7 - 30 min.

Toast in the oven for about 30 minutes.

Stage 9

After taking out a helping, make sure you seal the jar properly again to keep your granola nice and crunchy.

Remarks

The recipe is for guidance, so feel free to adapt it to suit your own taste or whatever dried fruit or cereals you have to hand. But I do recommend keeping to the basic proportion of half rolled oats, half other ingredients.

For the oil, opt for one with a neutal flavour, such as groundnut or sunflower.

Once your granola is cooked and cooled, you can add softer dried fruits that would suffer if cooked: apricot, orange, banana, raisins, etc.

If you don't have maple syrup, you can use honey instead.

Keeping

Several weeks in an airtight jar.
