Yep, you read it right! HOME-MADE!!!! :D If I would have known it was this easy to make, I would have made it AGES ago!!! I love it, make your own granola, perfect!!! And it tastes so gooood! mmh mmh mhh! :d You can just put in what YOU really want! :D Forget about those sultanas/raisins nobody really likes! ;)
Here's the original recipe, but feel free to let your imagination flow and replace those 3 cups of almonds by what you fancy in your granola in the morning!
Time to start feeling homey:
(notice though that this makes a big batch, about 10 cups... I usually make half...
ah, and for the ones that don't have a cup measure, know that roughly 1cup = 240ml)
Dry ingredients:
5 cups rolled oats
2-3 cups raw almonds
3/4 cups sesame seeds
1/2 cup light brown sugar (i didn't add this the last time as i thought it's sweet enough without it...)
2 tsp ground cinamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cardamom
1 tsp salt
Wet ingredients:
3/4 cup unsweetened apple puree
1/3 cup rice syrup (couldn't find this so i used glucose syrup, works fine :) but i guess things like maple syrup or maybe golden syrup should do the trick too...)
3/4 cup honey
2 tbsp vegetable oil
Preheat the oven to 180°C
Combine all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl and combine well with a wooden spoon. Combine all of the wet ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and stir together.
Spread the mixture evenly on two rimmed baking sheets (i used a baking tray lined with a baking paper). Bake 35-40 minutes or until an even, golden brown. Stir the granola every 10 minutes and rotate the pan. This helps to cook evenly.
Remove from the oven and stir the mixture again to prevent it cooling into a solid sheet. Set aside.The granola will still feel slightly soft, but it will crisp as it cools. Store in an airtight container indefinitely.
Beautiful on yoghurt, with milk or even just on its own! I tell you, it's hard to keep your hand out of the jar!!! ;)
Let me know what version you made and how it worked out! :)
~ Bon appétit! ~
