RECIPE
BRIAN & GILLY’S GRANOLA By Gilly Balcombe
Granola…everyone thinks ‘Oh good grief, they’re pushing something healthy here.’ And yes, it is packed full of wonderful ingredients, but this is also one of the best granola recipes I’ve ever tried. As with so many recipes, we found the original online and have played around with it and adapted it to its present form! Gather the following goodies and preheat your oven to 180°C, 160°C fan, gas mark 4. 375g oats (organic if preferred) 100g dark muscovado sugar 40g pine nuts 40g flaked almonds 40g walnuts 40g peanuts 40g cashew nuts 40g pumpkin seeds 40g sunflower seeds 16
½ tsp salt 1 to 2 tsp ground cinnamon, depending on taste 1 to 2 tsp vanilla extract 150g clear dark honey or maple syrup (using maple syrup will make it suitable for vegans too!) 115g coconut oil Mix all dry ingredients together well in a large mixing bowl. Melt coconut oil and honey together in a small saucepan, add to the dry ingredients with the vanilla extract and stir well so everything is coated. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and spread the granola mixture on to it in a single layer. Bake for 10 minutes, remove from the oven and turn the granola to ensure an even browning.
