I googled a bit and read through a few different recipes, then I experimented and adjusted them until I was happy with it so feel free to play around with this recipe.
This makes about 1kg of granola depending on the exact amounts you use. It only lasts me about 5 days so I tend to do 1.5x or double it.
Ingredients:
(apart from the oats and oil most of these ingredients are optional, and all ingredients can be substituted, e.g. another grain instead of oats, different spices etc. you could also add chocolate chips to make it extra yummy but of course it would then not be sugar free...)
4 cups oats
1/2 or 1 cup chopped nuts
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup seeds
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg'
1 tsp ginger
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup oil (I use olive oil)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups dried fruit (larger fruits chopped)
Method:
1. Mix oats, nuts, seeds, salt, spices and cocoa powder in a large bowl
2. Add honey, oil and vanilla, mix until evenly distributed
3. Spread out on lined baking trays (not too thick or it will take ages to bake)
4. Bake in the oven for 45 mins -1 hour on a low heat (about 150 C) stirring occasionally.
5. Wait to cool then stir in dried fruit and store in an airtight container
Then ENJOY! (I'm off to eat some granola right now, writing this has made me hungry for granola!)
