The perfect granola
This makes one large Kilner jar. The recipe is pretty easy, cost is down to you and the quality of ingredients, it is much less sweet than shop-bought granola.
Servings 1 large jar
Ingredients
- 40 g Coconut Oil
- 120 ml Honey
- ½-1½ Flaked Salt
- 170 g Jumbo Rolled Oats
- 170 g Rye Flakes or any other grain of your choice eg spelt, barley or rye flakes (or twice the amount of oats)
- 200 g Mixed Nuts I like Almonds and Hazelnuts
- 50 g Pumpkin Seeds Or other seeds
- 50 g Coconut Shavings
- 1 Large Egg White
- 80-100 g Mixed Chopped Dried Apricots dates and sour cherries (or dried fruit of your choice)
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 150C and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper. Put the oil, honey and salt together in a small pan and heat gently until the oil has melted and they’re all well combined. Take off the heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Mix the dry ingredients, apart from the fruit, in a large bowl. Stir the honey and oil into the bowl until well distributed. Beat the egg white in a separate bowl until frothy, then toss with the mixture.
- Spread out on the baking sheet and bake for about 30-35 minutes until golden, stirring occasionally so it cooks evenly, and more regularly if you’d prefer a looser texture.
- Leave to cool and crisp up on the tray, then stir in the fruit. Store in an airtight container.
