Sun, 12 January 2025

Granola Monday
Ingredients:
 
• 240g old-fashioned rolled oats
• 120g nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, or cashews), roughly chopped
• 60g seeds (e.g., sunflower, pumpkin, or chia)
• 25g unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
• 85g honey or maple syrup
• 60g coconut oil or olive oil
• 5g vanilla extract (about 1 tsp)
• 2g salt (about 1/4 tsp)
• 2g ground cinnamon (optional, about 1/2 tsp)
• 75g dried fruit (e.g., cranberries, raisins, or apricots) (optional)
 
Instructions:
 
1. Preheat your oven to 165°C (325°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, seeds, coconut (if using), salt, and cinnamon.
3. Make the wet mixture: In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the honey (or maple syrup) and coconut oil until melted. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and toss to coat evenly.
5. Bake: Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the granola is golden brown.
6. Cool and add dried fruit: Let the granola cool on the baking sheet. Once cooled, stir in the dried fruit if using.
7. Store: Store your granola in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
 
Serve with poached pear, Greek yogurt and drizzle of honey.
