Ingredients
  

  • 500 g jumbo rolled oats
  • 60 g pumpkin seeds about 6 tbsp
  • 40 g sunflower seeds about 4 tbsp
  • 30 g sesame seeds about 3 tbsp
  • 20 g linseeds (flaxseeds) about 2 tbsp
  • 75 g almonds
  • 75 g brazil nuts
  • zest of 2 oranges this really makes it for me!
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 tsp cinnamon and/or ginger optional
  • 8 tbsp runny honey or maple syrup
  • 100 g coconut flakes a couple big handfuls, optional but tasty
  • 100 g dried figs chopped
  • 100 g dried apricots chopped
  • 100 g pitted dates chopped

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 300F / 150C (130C fan). Line a large roasting tin with parchment paper.
  2. Tip everything apart from the coconut, honey and fruit into the roasting tin. Drizzle over the honey and mix together with a spoon.
  3. Bake for 1 hour until golden, stirring after 30 minutes and again after 45 minutes. On the last stir, add in the coconut flakes.
  4. Take the granola out of the oven, mix in the dried fruit, then leave to cool completely. (The granola will become crunchy as it cools.)
  5. Store in an airtight container. Enjoy with milk or yoghurt and extra fresh fruit if you'd like.
