Baking time: 20-25 minutes

Ingredients:
|
Method:
|
2,5 cups oat flakes (I used organic wholegrain oats)
½ cup raw sunflower seeds
½ cup raw hazelnuts
½ cup raw skin-off sweet almonds
|
Heat the oven to 190ºC. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
In a large bowl combine oats, sunflower seeds, hazelnuts, almonds. Stir to blend.
|
90 g butter
140 g honey
|
Put the butter into a pot and get it melted, then pour the honey and combine both of them nicely. Pour the warm mixture to the bowl, combine wet and dry ingredients with a spoon or spatula.
|
|
Spread the mixture evenly on the baking tray, pop into the oven and bake about 20-25 minutes or until turning lightly brown. Stir every couple of minutes to have all ingredients baked evenly.
|
½ cup dried black currants or sultanas or raisins
|
Pull the tray from the oven and after 10 minutes and when the granola is still very warm add the black currants, sultans or raisins.
|
|
Cool completely before serving or transferring to an airtight jar. The granola hardens up and get crunchy as it cools. I don’t mind when gets lumpy during baking because it is so easy to break it into little chunks or crumble after cooling.
|
Use whichever nuts and dried fruits you like: walnuts, Brazilian nuts, macadamia nuts, cashew, pumpkin seeds; dried: apricots, cherries, cranberries, figs, resins; Served with milk or sprinkle the granola on yogurt with fresh fruits: banana, apple, raspberries or blackberries;
