Granola

Granola - a toasted muesli, nice with fresh fruit and yoghurt for a vegetarian breakfast, this is a very adaptable recipe using any grains, seeds and nuts that you fancy.

Ingredients

  • 12 oz / 300g rolled oats, wheat flakes, rolled barley or any other rolled grains
  • 4oz / 100g chopped hazelnuts, pecans, almonds or any other nuts
  • 2oz/50g pumpkin, flax, sunflower seeds or seeds of your choice
  • 2oz/50g desiccated coconut
  • 4 fl oz Hill Farm rapeseed oil or sunflower oil
  • 4 fl oz Suffolk honey
  • 6oz/150g raisins or sultanas

Method

Preheat the oven to 130c/Gas 2 ( a cool setting)

Place the rolled oats in a bowl and mix in the nuts, seeds and coconut.  ( not the raisins yet!) Stir well.

Warm the honey and oil together in a small pan and pour onto the dry mixture.

Coat all the nuts, oats, seeds etc in the honey and oil.

Spread the mixture onto a baking tin and place in the oven for 40 mins.  You will need to move the granola around a little from time to time to ensure that it crisps all over.

Remove from the oven and mix in the raisins.  Leave to cool and store in an airtight container. where it will keep for several weeks.
