Munchy and crunchy homemade granola recipe
Like to add some crunch to your yoghurt brekkie? Me too! My kids and I love to munch on granola, but I refuse to pay big money for tiny boxes at the supermarket – better yet, I can make it at home and omit the nuts so the kids can safely take it to school to double up as trail mix.
- Prep time : 10 mins
- Cooking time : 18 mins
Homemade granola ingredients
- 150g honey
- 50g butter
- 300g Uncle Toby's traditional rolled oats
- 100g sunflower seeds
- 100g sultanas
- 100g dried sweet cranberries
- 100g pepitas
- Handful of dried apples, diced
- 60g desiccated coconut
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
Method
- Preheat the oven to 150°C and line two trays with baking paper.
- Melt the butter and honey together in your Thermomix for 2½ minutes / 50° / reverse speed 2. Alternatively, melt together in a small saucepan over medium heat, on the stove top.
- Add all remaining ingredients except for the cinnamon and nutmeg to the Thermomix bowl. Heat for 3 minutes / 50° / reverse speed 2.
- Alternatively, combine remaining ingredients (excluding spices) in a large mixing bowl and stir in the melted honey. Stir until well combined.
- Spread the granola mix over two trays – try to keep some clumps in it, there’s nothing better than granola clusters! Combine the cinnamon and nutmeg and sprinkle over the top of the trays – be as light or heavy handed as you please.
- Cook for 11 minutes, take the trays out of the oven and give the granola a flip over with an egg slide. Cook for a further 7 minutes or until golden, but keep an eye on it – it can burn quickly!
- Allow to cool on the trays and transfer to an airtight container.
Notes
- Full of all of your favourite things, granola can easily be made using your stash of dried fruits.
- Delicious on yoghurt, stewed fruit or ice cream, this granola will never be wasted – there will always be someone snacking on this beautiful crunchy mix.
- I’ve used my Thermomix, but you can just as easily use your stove top.
