As someone with a major sweet tooth, granola is a firm favourite on my list of breakfast foods.
Unfortunately store-bought granola can contain huge amounts of added sugar and hidden ingredients which make the seemingly 'healthy' breakfast, anything but.
After searching the internet for a healthier alternative, I felt inspired to make my own - and was extremely impressed with the results.
The recipe can be easily modified to suit any taste with endless ingredient options to create a variety of different flavours.
Here's my super easy recipe for a deliciously healthy granola that you can enjoy for breakfast, dessert or as a guilt-free treat when you need a little pick-me-up.
Ingredients
400g rolled oats
10g flaked almonds
4 tbsp dessicated coconut
1 handful of raisins
2 tbsp runny honey
2 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
100ml almond milk
A generous sprinkle of cinnamon
Makes 500g of granola (10 portions)
Preheat oven to 180C
Place all ingredients except the dessicated coconut in a mixing bowl and combine well using a large spoon or your hands
Spread evenly on a greased baking tray and place in the oven for 10 minutes
Carefully turn over the mixture then bake for a further 10 minutes until the oats are golden and crunchy
If you prefer a more 'baked' taste leave for a little longer - just make sure it doesn't burn
Remove from oven and leave to cool
Once cool, transfer mixture into a bowl and add the dessicated coconut and a little more cinnamon to taste
Store in an alright container and serve with almond milk, Greek yoghurt and blueberries. Mmm.
