Homemade granola

I shared pictures of the granola I made over on my Instagram and Facebook stories at the weekend and received a number of messages asking for the recipe.
So here you go!

How to make homemade granola:

Ingredients:

• 3 TBSP sunflower oil
• 150ml date molasses (substitute: maple syrup)
• 2 TBSP honey
• 3/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 350g jumbo rolled oats
• 1 large pinch sea salt
• 25g sunflower seeds
• 25g pumpkin seeds
• 35g pistachios, roughly chopped
• 35g flaked almonds
• 50g mixed, dried fruit, roughly chopped, such as sour cherries, raisins, apricots, mulberries and figs

Off you go:

1. Pre-heat the oven 170 degrees Celsius.
2. Add the sunflower oil, date molasses, honey and vanilla extract to a small bowl and mix very well.
3. Mix all dry ingredients, expect the almond flakes and dried fruit, in a large bowl, add the sticky mixture and stir well to coat everything.
4. Spread mixture onto a large baking tray, pat down with a wooden spoon and bake for 12 min.
5. Gently stir in the almond flakes and bake for another 10-15 min until the granola is evenly toasted. Don’t let it burn!
6. Leave to cool on the tray before stirring in the dried fruit.
7. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
