I’ve been relying heavily on home-made granola these last weeks, though this will quite possibly be my last batch for a while, as the weather in london becomes more and more Autumn-like. The recipe follows below.
750/1kg of whole oats
Toast under grill, turning regularly BEFORE burning (this requires full attention!) Towards the end when Oats are well toasted, add 5/6 T of mixture of Honey, Rice Syrup, Maple Syrup, mix together and toast for a few minutes more.
1 cup each of:
Pumpkin Seeds
Sunflower Seeds
Almonds/Hazel Nuts (chopped)
Coconut Flakes
wash, drain and toast separately in skillet (its easier to regulate toast time of each ingredient separately.)
additional options:
dried fruits, eg
Raisins
Cranberries
Figs
Prunes
Apricots
Raw chocolate nibs (trendy/tasty)
Acai Berries (trendy/tasty)
Combine all ingredients, mix thoroughly, and store in an airtight container. Serve with Stewed or fresh fruit, Yoghurt, or whatever you please.
