Delicious and wholesome granola
Ladies, have you ever taken the time to read and decode the nutritional label on your morning granola? More often than not, the cereals you find at the supermarket are far too high in sugar and fat — so if you’ve been buying supermarket granola thinking it’s a healthy breakfast choice, unfortunately, you’ve been misled. The good news? We have the perfect solution: make your own granola, so you can enjoy balanced and delicious breakfasts every day.
- 300 g whole oats
- 200 g dried fruit and/or seeds of your choice (sunflower seeds, goji berries, raisins, walnuts…)
- 5 tbsp liquid honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
- 4 tbsp water
- Preheat your oven to 160°
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, water, vanilla and honey, and mix well
- Spread the mixture onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for 10 minutes
- Remove the tray, stir the granola, then bake again for another 10 minutes
- Take the granola out of the oven and let it cool on the tray — this is when it will firm up
- Once cooled, add your dried fruit and/or seeds and mix well
Done! Your granola will keep for around 1 month in an airtight container.
