a good day

I am a strong believer in  starting the day with a good breakfast. Here is my favourite granola recipe that I would like to share with you.

HOMEMADE GRANOLA

• 125g Butter
• 150ml Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 500g A variety of oats
• a handful Flaked almonds
• a handful Chopped nuts
• 5 tablespoon Desiccated coconut, slightly toasted
• 200g Dried fruits (my personal favourites are figs, apricots or banana chips for some crunch!)
• 2 handful Sunflower and pumpkin seeds

1. Preheat oven to 140°C on fan

2. Heat butter, honey, vanilla gently in a pan

3. Mix all other ingredients, except the dried fruits in large mixing bowl

4. Combine the melted butter well with the dry ingredients

5. Spread out into 2 large flat baking trays and bake for 25 minutes, mixing every 5 minutes to avoid clumps

6. Remove from oven and mix every 5 minutes until cool

7. Mix in dried fruits once cold

8. The granola will keep in an air tight container up to 2 weeks

9. Eat it with your favourite plain or Greek yoghurt with a drizzle of honey. ENJOY!!

This is so easy to make and definitely smell and taste nicer than the ones that come in a box. I hope you like it as much as I do.
