Homemade Granola

Homemade granola

Ingredients:

500g Rolled oats

200g nuts (or as many as you like, and however many combinations you like

I used almonds and walnuts)

100g sunflower seeds (optional)

1tsp cinnamon

3/4 tsp salt

100ml boiling water

75ml honey

75ml sunflower oil

1tsp vanilla essence (optional)

Method:

Preheat oven to 150C

Combine the dry ingredients together in a large bowl until evenly mixed

Combine wet ingredients in separate bowl, then pour wet ingredients over dry and mix well

Pour all onto a large baking sheet and spread thinly and evenly

(If it doesn’t look like a thin enough layer, you may need to do this in batches)

Bake in the oven until golden brown, around 45 minutes

Will need stirring occasionally to ensure even baking

  1. Looks a great recipe. I have made something similar with more honey and no oil and water, but I will definitely give this one a try too.
