I'm back from my travels and back to baking in the kitchen! The first thing I wanted to whip up was a big batch of crunchy granola. It's my go to breakfast, not only because it's super delicious but it's also easy to pop in pot and take to work with me.
I love it sprinkled over some coconut or greek yogurt in the morning, or mixed in a bowl with almond milk.
There are so many different types of granola's out on the market these days but I find lots of them are loaded with sugar and preservatives and the ones that do contain healthier ingredients are always so expensive!
I prefer making my own as it's so easy, a lot cheaper and I know exactly what goes into it. Once you've bought the initial ingredients below, you can make multiple batches that last for ages!
Feel free to get creative with the ingredients, adding in different types of nuts and fruit will also work!
Ingredients:
2 cups of gf jumbo oats
1/4 cup of almonds
1/4 cup of cashews
1/4 cup of pumpkin and sunflower seeds (mixed)
1/4 cup of raisins
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tbsp ex v olive oil
3 tbsp honey or maple syrup - add more or less depending on taste
Pinch of salt
Method:
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
Add all of the ingredients, apart from the raisins, into a large bowl and mix well.
Spread the granola out on a lined baking tray or in an oven proof dish and bake for 25 minutes. Keep checking to ensure it doesn't burn and stir a couple of times.
Allow to cool and transfer into a jar or airtight container.
